This would be interesting. I know I would collect Syracuse silver by die variety (the set of Boehringer numbers would set you back a thousand...
For those of us who collect for the coins and not for their investment potential, it seems good for the coin market to crash making today's fine...
That is not a coin of V as Augustus. Read the legend. All I have seen are billon. Note these solo coins also spell his name differently....
I wish I could claim a place here for my Valentinian II but I fear he used a die break to augment his nose. [ATTACH]
I never paid much attention to all the different temple styles on coins of Romulus. I was too busy being confused as to the nature of the damage...
I like them all but the Philip is my favorite.
Years ago, I was outbid in an auction for a barbarous (do not recall of whose) with reverse of a retarius gladiator with a clear net. Was that...
That is a great Victorinus. My favorite Victorinus is Salus and a bit hard to see because Carausius struck his Pax coin over it. [ATTACH]...

We have several members here who post coins well above my price bracket but we can count on AJ selections to combine grade, interest, beauty,...
Good group! I believe my favorite of this moment is the Tiberius quadriga reverse. Driving four horses each looking in a different direction...
Admittedly, whole coins are easier to ID. [ATTACH]
I would agree with this order 100% if only you would add at the start of the list what we used to call 'operator head space'. More photos are...
Both #3 and #10 have been high on my wish list for years but I really prefer the Julia Domna version of #10 so I will say #3 is my favorite. I...
True. I often wonder at several examples over the centuries where the dies were great and the striking hit and miss. There was a good cutter in...
I prefer the Commodus for style and The Faustina for reverse and tone. The Krannon would have gone for more were it free of that edge...
This strikes me as a good coin for the stated purpose. I hope it leads the recipient to study the history of that reverse and the period in...
