Closest I can do is this Emesa which I have recorded as 3.9g. The scales I used then only did tenths and the coin is in the bank so I can't check...
I'd say! It is not even a common mint for theses.
How many of the 488,000 S-VDB's still exist? Many ancients were minted in larger quantities if you follow the arguments based on die usages. I...
While the idea seems wonderful, I see many practical trip ups that would make the idea a difficult sell in the professional community. Without...
We all have our own favorites when it comes to style. This is one of a group (20???) found in India a few decades ago. All were from the same...
Terms like VF and EF are meaningless with these coins. There are lightly worn but boldly struck, perfect surfaced and great style coins that will...
I do not get greater satisfaction out of one EF coin than out of the 3-4 lesser ones that would cost the same but those who sell coins will point...
BTW: IMHO you are collecting correctly when you buy what speaks to you. My language skills do not include speech of $700 cents no matter what...
I believe that may be a ripple/fold in the metal before striking. Perhaps the guy pouring the blanks was having trouble. It is possible that...
Coins of this period were a poor silver mix and some suffered to leeching of weight in the ground. That makes weight vary but this is light even...
Arcadius and Honorius are below(both Antioch) but I don't have Theodosius II. Does anyone? RIC says they are common from several mints and no...
I really agree on this one. Every time I go to a show I am amazed at what I see. There will be two tables next to each other and one will be...
To me the interesting point is how many interesting Provincials there are for Macrinus and Diadumenian (separate or two headed) and how...
Nice!
Recommend the above? I've been in a bad mood so I've been rereading The Green Mile by Stephen King to cheer up.
I have never heard the terms Senior and Junior used in this way so I assume it is a convention from your country. I am accustomed to seeing Nero...
Today's arrival is a rather ordinary example of a somewhat boring coin. It is not exactly what I would have preferred but it is close to the...
There is a lot on this page but finding what you want will take some work. Look near the end for COINS OF POLONNARUVA PERIOD-1100AD ONWARDS...
In other words, it was a big one. :) The fact is that many ancients, especially precious metal coins, were not all that large. Some of us like...
The mint reads BN but I don't know if that is significant for the Islamic issue or if it is just what the coin they copied was. I don't make...
Separate names with a comma.
