I would agree this is the best answer. I do not like the idea of a new author putting forth his theories and claiming them to belong to the...
I am not always comfortable calling the later coins to mint and/or which Philip. I see this as Philip I from Rome [ATTACH] and below is what I...
I believe my youngest is the denarius shared with Pius. [ATTACH] This one is fourree so many not count. Still, the Aurelius portrait is not all...
Good portraits and, while the legends could be more full, the letters present are the ones you might wish to be there. Congratulations on a good...
Pius seems a good guess and the reverse figure holds a cornucopia.
It is not necessary to learn Latin or Greek beyond the alphabets to collect coins but there are a few places where it adds a side interest. The...
Nice find! It is sad the dating letters are weak/off flan but I suspect ID would be possible with some work. Marcus Aurelius was around for many...
Yes, perhaps, but what I like are replica/fakes with a story. I would like a genuine, original Becker fake now over 200 years old or a struck...
It was not a test as much as a guess what they were thinking. I did not realize until near the end that you did not have to go in order so I...
I wrote too much before but there is one other point that needs to be made. One person's trash is another's treasure. Does one of the coins...
Don't drop it on your toe. My only question was how the obverse 'pit' became so enlarged. It is simple to find sold items on vCoins sites so I...
I agree it would be great to have a new work that explains the 'why' behind all the new attributions but I hope they have the taste to publish it...
The unusual legend is because it is in the genitive case rather than the usual nominative. The coin was issued for the very young Constans...
Not all of these are as good looking as yours. Compare to my 15.91g, AE26, for example. They are not exactly the same but close. I was not...
MAKE ΔONΩN There seems to be a lot o variations on the legends on the reverses of these and the specimens are all pretty ugly. That, by...
There are many people who have outbid me for coins I wanted. TIF's underwear technique (that might be a good ID) might protect you from people...
Welcome. You will find the group here on Coin Talk is quite varied in every way. Some live for the site; others visit it when they can. Some...
Just a warning to those with worn examples of the type (there are a lot of them): Hadrian continued using elephants and missing legends could...
I really like that new one. The various ways they fit in the long legends fascinates me. My similar coin ran out of space one letter sooner and...
Asses of Nero and Galba are not all that hard to find in what I would call mid-grade, acceptable. I had been considering starting a thread on the...
Separate names with a comma.
