Finest, yes, but I still prefer some of the other styles. Most mints seemed to have a variation within the mint with one cutter being more quirky...
I wish everyone could experience the difference between 2D and 3D like Alegandron's scope provides. Mine is not a high end (two fixed...
This was not an opinion question. WRL is a well known manufacturer of replicas for sale in gift shops. Their products should fool only the most...
I know Antioch coins are most popular but they are only half way down my FH list. Give me something spicier anyday! :playful: Amiens is my...
I had no trouble making this choice because one of these coins has been on my radar since I first saw it. I won't tell which to avoid...
Interesting how 'bargain' is defined differently in our various opinions. I'll tack on a strange fourree combining the Plautilla reverse with a...
I believe the coin has an M in the reverse field which means it is a smaller, later version. Frequently these M's are not perfectly formed and...
Well said! To me, the whole idea of the discussion group is to experience coins and opinions on coins that we might otherwise miss. Certainly...
This is what makes the hobby. I agree with what Curtismo said about Theodosius' coin except I would have said it about the other coin (ACG's). I...
A favorite series of large Provincials that keep following me home are from Stratonicaea. They are hard to find high grade but easy to find with...

This pair reminds me I wish I could split votes when I do not feel there is a great difference between the two and give full vote when one is...
Some do, some don't. Some ancients are every bit as stabile as you might wish considering the lack of collar and modern technology. Falling...
While I wish you well on this hope, the fact remains that to 99% of ancient collectors, rarities created by an unusual combination of dating...
The first two are post reform coins of the tetrarchs Maximianus and Galerius. They shared the name Maximianus but your second coin has GAL VAL...
http://www.catbikes.ch/coinstuff/coinlinks.htm There are many places to go on the web. Keeping up with what is added and goes dead is a problem...
RIC never intended to be a record of all coins. The authors surveyed a specific group of large, mostly public collections and recorded how many...
Is Miles' coin H16.399 but Type's H16.400? I gather neither of you use Hartill?
These coins go well together. Compared to most, Bing's example has more of the significant legend. Roman Collector's coin has everything going...
I am opposite of Q having a denarius only for him but none for her. The coin is greener than this old photo. [ATTACH]
