I also recommend Byzantine coins, (The World of numismatics) by Philip D Whitting 1973 if you can find a used copy. It is not a catalog of types...
If I were betting on the high count, I'd go with the 2200+ estimated FH coins. I am of the opinion that 2200 is a low guess because it came from...
Besides third place, the contest leaves open a few other questions. When the eventual winner is crowned we might wonder which of his entered...
There are so many bust types for Probus, I have to ask if there was any method to their use or were the die cutters simply free to make dies as...
Do you attribute the lack of beards to wear all the time or was Domitian an intermittent shaver. Are there more beards at certain times like when...

Having nothing to do with slab labels, the fact today is that many more coins will be identifiable because almost every list now photographs every...

Geta without question. His name follows Septimius in Greek at the right end of the legend.
The legend reads Maesa clearly. See MAICA starting just above her shoulder.
I see nothing straightforward about any of this. The people that see Mattingly as a dreamer put forth their own dream that (1) Antioch was...
The reason I see is that either you would have to confirm that the coin was in fact the Dattari specimen meaning you spent the time to look it up...
I have a bad attitude to these where the letter on the amphora has worn away. I always wanted one with the letter intact that my coins are...
Mine is just an as but asses are harder to find. Who has the aureus for our set? [ATTACH] Of the portrait dies of this lady, my personal...
This 'one more' idea brings up a matter I consider interesting. My fourree tetradrachm has a small test cut near the tail that shows a tiny bit of...
I suppose a photo of a TIF tee shirt would be too much to ask on a label so brief instructions for opening would have to do. I realize that I am...
