A single favorite is always hard to select but I have always been fond of this Eastern mint Victoria with a different portrait style than we see...
Can we just let this thread die? Please.
We have had a lot of different coins but here is one I believe we missed: FIDES PVBL [ATTACH]
The mints seem to have lost the knack of working large flans. Most are pretty ugly. Many are flattened a lot thinner than the overstruck ones....
I wish I knew the basis for the CNG ID but I don't. In the time I have specialized in these, we have made more progress in showing what we used...
Postumus is one of my favorites. I don't have any of his really spectacular types but 'enough' of he ordinary ones. His coins span the time when...
I know little about these except that they exist everywhere from really fine Greek style to the worst mess of barbarous work you can imagine....
Try to imagine the mess we would have if all Romans called themselves Caesar and did not bother with other names. We do have some troubles...

I am not TIF and I am not Mat but I collect Alexandrian also. I also specialize in Septimius Severus and family so will use my favorite...
I make an effort to stay out of this neighborhood. It is dangerous. I have shown my only $400 coin from this year several times...
Yup! Wow! Rather than fantasizing that my coin was an unknown issue of a known mint, we can suggest that it was a new mint set up to sanitize...
The coin show Friday provided a RR coin that has been on my want list for some time. I usually avoid Roma / chariot coins (I have enough) but...
