Try 10.6g carbonate and 8.4g bicarb in 100 ml distilled water. That is not quantitative chemistry but is something most can measure with their...
I love the way the horse reaches down in exergue as if pointing to the mintmark.
OK but it is 15mm. The coin is thinner and more worn than my others. Have you seen any/many 'unofficial' coins of this group? This was the...
It strikes me that there is a greater variety of Crispus styles than most rulers from the period. All used the same mints but there are some nice...
Yes, the other one has the dda but clips the va. That seems a problem with these. [ATTACH]
We might add that these seem to abbreviate slogans and can be found reversed in some cases (eg FT and TF = Felicitas Temporum). Failmezger touched...
Nice one, much nicer than mine. I'll add a coin of Abhimanyu's son Nandigupta who succeeded him in 972 but did not last a year under grandma...

If we are not to have the upper bracket threads of this series, perhaps we can think of another series of posts that will reinforce the points...
I guess I bought this antoninianus of Gordian III because it was a reverse I lacked and reasonably priced but further examination turned up...
I stumbled across a low grade, polished example of what I consider a travel series coin but they used a dated legend rather than naming Oceanus as...
I recommend these henceforth be known as 'Q3Q'. This thread has more than its share of words to heed! I did not quote them all above. The big...
Perhaps the older brothers of the cute kids selling them to tourists who visit the ruins??? In quantity and given the tools available in a school...
My VII? has the question mark G as does my VIII solid. That is no problem. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] This is just an opinion based on no facts since...
This one from Thessalonika uses the DALMATIUS spelling. I have always been fond of the portrait style. [ATTACH]

Separate names with a comma.
