Here is my Vabalathus with a sand patina. [img] Vabalathus (270 - 275 A.D.) AE Antoninianus O: VABALATHVS V CRIMDR, Laureate and draped bust...
Too many to post in one thread, but I have them in a online gallery. http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/index.php?cat=26422
Plenty of real silver greeks available for under $100. http://bargainbinancients.com/zen/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=9&page=1&sort=3d...
Antoninus Pius Denarii are also very affordable with many types to pick.
I have a slightly worn version of collect89's coin, didnt know there was another type. Very cool. Love the 5/10 peso too Derick.
Thanks alot :)
Well this is the only other example I could find of this type & again dont know the reverse legend. This one has a much better weight too....
Lol indeed it is.
A new addition to my ancient collection. I have wanted a Tiberius for awhile but the tribute penny is just too pricey to me & cheaper examples...
Looks like its in fine condition/obverse scratch. Probably about $6 or so. More for its silver content then anything else.
I would pick going to ancient rome. I would love to see the coins trading hands. I would also love to see the mint creating the coins, especially...
Glad you were able to get it. I have yet to purchase a short cross penny. The prices seem everywhere. Eventually though... Very nice.
Had it for about 2 weeks. This type is particularly scarcer as he was only augustus *emperor* for 2 years before he died, his coinage as caesar is...
Thanks for the link. Theyre pretty cool.
I miss Clinker, was a very nice guy. I always enjoyed his threads.
Article sucks without photos, lol. Interesting though.
I would love an athens silver, even one with a test cut that wasnt obtrusive to the design but they too are too $$ to me. I just dont pay much...
I still dont own any coins with an owl on them. Seen some AEs cheap but never bothered to buy one.
http://www.thehistoryblog.com/ has been covering this alot too. I think its pretty cool. Would suck though if it isnt Richard III though.
Thats a lovely example.
