From a style standpoint, it seems left facing Caracalla tets are more interesting than the right facing ones. I wish we had a better answer for...
I understand that this may be an exceptional coin for a type usually seen much worse but I fail to see the need to call a coin missing so much...
Can someone explain the details of the Kushano-Sasanian Peroz dating 150 years before the Sasanian king by the same name? I would be interested...
I feel lucky when I can convince myself of the mint and date readings on these. It makes a big difference where the weak spots in the strike...
There is a major difference between 'as struck' and 'FDC'. 99.9% of ancient coins fell from the die at less than FDC but all were technically 'as...
Of the decisions Mr. Vagi made that I believe caused him not to be taken seriously by old timers in the hobby upgrading what we always called EF...

I once was a fan of the Celator and had several articles published in it. Perhaps that was why I lost interest and dropped my subscription. More...
I have seen a couple of these countermarks but none even close to as nice on either side. Mine is a total junker. I believe someone else here...
Perhaps we should note that the coin was a very unusual listing for CNG. They called the coin FDC but felt the need to headline it as having...
This one matches the Gamma Decentius I was supposed to get in the mail yesterday. The package arrived from Spain and contained a completely...
Apollo and Artemis? Some time back I showed a countermark with a Janiform head and there are several other doubles. I'm sorry I am missing...
I agree fully with Ken's view. I do not pay high prices for errors but I forgive their ugliness more easily than with regular coins equally ugly...
A year ago I 'upgraded' my example of the OP Hieron but when I got out the one I have had for 30 years I decided that I likes some things about it...
I may be completely off track but I wonder if that is related to the Royal Warts seen on Parthian kings. I do not know when it started but at...
This stater of Sikyon has a Phi scratched on each side but the one on the obverse is weak enough to barely show on the photo. I wonder if it was...
That portrait is very young and weak compared to what we expect from Valentinian I. The legend is continuous rather than broken at the top as...
My Draco is a different style but we can't expect every die to match. I'll also show a DACIA FELIX where the figure is holding a standard of the...
Certainly such a coin could be used to identify a courier or someone needing introduction to a person who would be given the other piece and I...
