Good group! I especially like the Tacitus with enemy defeated specified on the reverse.
Maurice Tiberius is interesting for the garbled legends and number of his coins that (like Steve's) do not have the name Maurice. There are many...
Interesting. We have a regular here who only wants silver and another who has 95% gold. We have a guy with a thing for lead tokens and one whose...
Maybe your post should be the ones you regret having sold. I could not be a dealer. I get too attached.
While I realize you can not tell us the owner, I would be interested in hearing how the 1000 coins that size are stored. Coins under 1g are not...
A Galba from a Spanish mint has been on my want list for some time so yours is easily my favorite of the bunch. All are winners.
These make it hard to pick a favorite.
A rarity is a Heraclius not struck on something else. Some may have been struck well enough to erase the whole undertype design but I suspect...
No, Bing, I spent more this year and considered myself cheap so it is time for you to fess up and admit that you are Cheap with a capital C....
I like them all but especially the FRVGF for a reason you know. I could never be a specialist in just one area of ancients but do enjoy seeing...

Good group! I like the Lucilla especially. Looking at the monogram I would say it has the whole work YpiATO (the dot that croses the A is also...
My first FH coin was this first Alexandria from officina A which I always thought was of exceptional style for this mint. The grade is not up to...
There once was a theory that proposed that cutters were quite nearsighted but scholars put that idea down for some reason. I do know that,...
[IMG] I do not know but suggest a place to start would be Roman Provincial Coinage which is quoted in this listing by CNG....
This also comes in a half or 1/24th stater replacing Ares with Aphrodite. Mine is 8x10mm but most were not hit so hard so they are smaller...
No C clamp? How positively awful! I was once told one can never own too many clamps. You could use your vise.:) I sold my band saw so my next...
We do this thread often enough that I need more tiny coins to avoid running out the same ones every time. There is even a tiny coin post over on...
Very nice group. I do hope all will post a separate thread labeled like yours: Favorite x of 2016 (from y) where x= the number of coins (I was...
Separate names with a comma.
