Which ones interest you most? Why? I am fond of the Eastern mint coins using types generally considered more appropriate for male rulers. The...
I only have one but the obverse die is one of my favorites from a style perspective. There are several very distinct styles of Syrian portraits...
Facing lions come in all sizes. Rhegion, hemitatemorion (1/8 obol), 466-415 BC, 0.1g. [ATTACH]
Now it is time for the rest of the story. That portrait of Septimius is the only remaining proof of the real appearance of the emperor. Most of...
Mine has completely different legends made hard to read by granular surfaces and the king's crown is off flan. It gives the idea of the obverse...
I am most fond of the early Metapontion coins with incuse reverse types accredited to the influence of Pythagoras who lived in the region in that...
Perhaps that is why Minerva looks a bit underweight?
I am not in the least worried about learning all I can learn about as many things as I can. I just look at it as having many specialties and I...
Below are my 2017 added barbarous but silver Severans (not fourrees or anima). These were identified as barbarous by the seller but the lot...
Me, too. I wanted this coin very badly - irrationally so. The Alexandrian calendar marked the new year on August 29 so this year 20 (LK) coin...
My Syracuse hemilitron is from the good old days when they used silver. Considering the flan is 10mm, I'd call the style quite fine. I have not...
It seems a nice coin but the horn is not bold in the photo. Is that a matter of the photo or is this one lacking? [ATTACH]
That is far nicer than most and missing the usual faults so common to the series that led me to posting my page on the type calling them...
Getting to the point, the question is how much cash value we assign to coins like zumbly's second or Victor's top center. Both belong in a...
∆EKATOY is ten spelled out. It is Emmett 805. For a reason I do not understand, Hadrian spelled out dates on many coins from years ten through...
I assume most of you keep records of how much you pay for coins. I do. What do you do when you buy a 'large lot' consisting of several coin that...
BTW, you may all choose to use the term 'Fallen Horseman' but I will continue to say 'Falling Horseman'. LRBC, RIC and Failmezger all used...
In this case you had all the legend needed to ID the coin. A bare head portrait on a falling horseman coin means the coin is either Constantius...
Light colored coins seem consistantly overexposed but that is a simple fix.
While portraits allow some dating, the 196 AD legend change between the two is the big consideration. Many of the earlier dies look older than...
