I hope Santa brings Steve a camera for Christmas instead of the usual lump of coal.
Nice portrait style. Her denarii are relatively easy to find in good shape but the sestertii are less so. I'm sure someone here has one better...
Is it possible to have a real coin of a person made up by confused later historians? Should we mention there are two usurpers named Saturninus of...
While I fully agree with TIF's opinion on the inappropriate posts of nice coins imaged with no effort whatsoever, the fact remains that pretty...
I am an amateur at these but see this as Kushru II mint NAH (uncertain site) year 24. Who else has an opinion?
Very interesting. They remind me of the Aksum coins with a tiny inly spot of gold. [ATTACH] Aksum, I bought this as Kaleb and successors 520-540...
Thanks for the link. It certainly does a good job listing the letter variations on some coins I have seen but stops short of explaining any of...
The problem with any grading system in my mind is the need to reserve space for one just a bit better if it should show up. This may very well be...

That is indeed the question. We find out when a dealer (lets say Tom Cederlind) passes and his coins hit the market. Do we see only the coins...
I do not like the texture but the weight suggests it is gold and not painted bronze. That makes it a coin I would not buy not because I think it...
I most certainly agree with the suggestion of the Anthony book. I do also suggest that there is a lot of good to be gained by reading, following...
We sometimes see the mint listed as "Emesa" with the quotes meaning the mint that RIC/BMC listed by that name but that we are really not certain...
I have read enough about coins of Postumus to know I do not know enough about them to sort out the mints by style. We see coins attributed to...
I wonder what it is your girlfriend does not like about the coin. That sure is an awkward pose for Pax.
https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=21296 I found a Philip II denarius but failed to find one of Philip I. Who has a link?
How many of you voted for anyone based on their position on collecting? Congressmen and Presidents know their bread is buttered by abortion,...
