[ATTACH] Note we have several different ways the legends were fit on the flan. Minor variations are common on some issues.
You are right. My use of Kamnaskires-Orodes III means that coin entered my catalog when the book I owned on the subject was de Morgan (1976) and...
Nice pig! Scattered among a thousand ordinary types, Pius has a few really special ones.
There is a good book on Elymaean coinage by van't Haaff for about $75. Last I heard, the dealer I got mine from was still selling groups of 3 to...
I really hope you appreciate what good style this coin offers. Certainly it would be nice with the Rostral Crown on flan and everyone like unworn...
I don't think the C/S situation is just a question of cutter choice. Except for Class C and the rare Class N which use C on both sides, all seem...
Not knowing the price, it is hard to say but mine was not as good but similar in appearance and also cost too much compared to most except for the...
I agree these are an interesting part of numismatic history but I believe they should be studied along with the first few issues of Pius as...
Perhaps the die cutter got carried away with the Y but the T on a Tiberius coin should be made of three strokes with the top two meeting in the...
The Post Office and CNG conspired again to provide me with great service in the form of the one coin I bought in sale 382 last week. Instead of...
This does not strike me as at all odd. The mint that produced these and the Antioch Antoniniani were under the control of Vabalathus when they...
Coins showing Cybele, the mother goddess are easy to find. She was quite popular in the Severan period. Julia Domna even has Imperials of her as...
Some of them as not so hard to find but hard to recognize due to a fad that went through the bull/horseman community making the dies much larger...
Alegandron's and Mikey's coins make a point worth noting. The number of wolves after you is far beyond the common Constantinian type that started...
Is it reasonable to guess the Giza pyramids might have been an embarrassment to later rulers who would have been unable to match them or figure a...
I see 11 coins but only 9 different. The Boni Eventuc and Boni Spes look like matches. No? I only have two. The Eventuc is a dupe of yours but...
I have to disagree with Steve on one point. I frequently have bids set with a Snipe engine that will be placed 5 seconds before a lot closes. If...
It was mentioned so I'll show it: [IMG] I believe I recall being told of a dozen reverses with one obverse form Emesa so they were more into it...
This is a good example of how I am confused by RR bronzes. Correct me if I am missing something. This coin is special because of its weight....
What are you to do when the best known is terrible? Do without is a popular option but not my favorite. Every so often I show this coin with...
