I strongly agree with TIF for the reasons she stated well. Each of us might have a completely different idea which coins are worth a bid and...
I really like that early portrait when Domitian still looked like his father and brother. Later his portrait started moving in a formal...
A question is what is 'reasonable'. My general rule of thumb is they are worth no more than 1/4 of a whole coin. Of course that depends not only...
Mine are low grade examples of less common poses. There are quite a few varieties available. The second is fourree. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Certainly there is no market support for a Licinius being any better for being issued along with a high demand rarity. It is just something I...
Sadly that is a good description of most of my best coins of the Kushans. Smooth is unusual. This Kanishka with Helios reverse is my best by...
A problem with Kushans is the difficultly finding one coin with well struck details all around. When I bought the top one below, I thought it was...
I feel obligated to repeat for the thousandth time my opinion that uncleaned coins are a bad way to start. I would prefer beginners buy a few...
As the owner of the gold above, I got it out and looked under a microscope. Prodding with a pin dislodged a bit of very dark brown and very dry...
If you lived in Israel and found something while digging a hole to plant flower bulbs, admitting the true story could result in the antiquities...
I'm sure most missed the point of this thread. Licinius issued millions of coins of thousands of issues from a dozen mints each of which changed...
I do not know who to ask for the list of those fakes but my recollection was that the discovery was after the prices. I do not know who ended up...
NFA XXVII was not the sale with fakes. That was XXII with the fake Domitius Ahenobarbus on the cover. Of course I disagree with the advice...
I find the differences in details on the galley sides (XXX on the last, dots in boxes above that one).
https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?similar=1487043 Licinius has some very 'different' coins but I fail to understand how so many examples can...
Mine is the matching Rome mint 'N' for Constantius II. Note both of them have fancy cuffs but the diadem of Constans is very different being...
My new coin is not new to you because its previous owner posted it here before we traded. I hope he is happy with the denarius and two bronzes he...
@panzerman, RIC lists that type also in gold. See RIC 379b and c (different diadem style). You can leave the silver for me. Of course, the...
Your new coin shows the fancy hair 'up' option which I only have as a fourree. More common is the 'down' style. I suppose now you will be going...
There is also a backwards C, A, P, B, S, III. The listings in RIC is a jumbled mess not helped by the fact that officinae used significantly...
Separate names with a comma.
