I would have bought a roll of them but, considering how thick they are, that would not be too many coins. I'll bet I could find other people here...
That is a great example of the Ninica! Mine has a countermark star behind the head. What is that there on yours? I always liked the way they...
When it comes to keeping it in the family, the Ptolemies are hard to beat. I don't have the count right at hand but several were married to their...
How does one tell a coin from the Kern collection from a coin from his dealer stock. I have close to a hundred coins bought from JK but had no...
I'm offended by your snobbish eagle holding her head straight up in the air. Everyone knows eagles are regal but they should limit ostentatious...
I know few want coins this beat up but I really wanted a double sestertius of Decius and this was what I could afford. [ATTACH] My favorite...
Mine is only AE18 and has a reverse die clash that obscures the area of the E on your coin. I never considered it having a gamma there but there...
Alexander died before thr Loyal Friend part of this relationship was put to the test. Dying at a propitious time is a good way into history's...
Nice group. I place the Selge on top. (Embarassed correction here: Aspendos. Thanks PeteB - below) Suggestion: When writing a complicated...
Leaving out worthy posts for any reason will lessen the value of the final list of threads. You can let people choose only from competitors but...

I once collected photo-antiques and may still have a later, electric, projector in the attic but I last saw it 17 years ago when we moved and...
I believe that the lack of information on slabs is consistent with the reason for their existence in the first place. Ancient slabs were created...
I believe the posts to this thread show well the situation. Greek coinage is too vast a subject to be distilled down to a few representative...
I agree. Cities were the issuing authority before Philip/Alexander/Rome changed the name of the game. I was thinking of coins of the cities and...
Someone correct me if I am wrong: All I have seen strike me as rather close to the same period and of similar style. I don't see this having any...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodes#Archaic_Era In 408 BC, the cities united to form one territory. They built the city of Rhodes, a new capital...
To me, the most interesting thing about Alexander coinage is how long after he died that they kept making the same type with his name and...
It strikes me that, if we have the 12 Caesars dictating what 'proper' Roman collectors must own, we also should have a list of twelve Greek cities...
