Very impatient with slow Internet this morning!
Never click twice. Impatience for action results in multiple posts.
No hand but many hooves?
Am I imagining it or was this struck on a flan made from a genuine denarius? In front of the captive is a shadow of NA and there are several...
Forgive Steve for hiding that bull. Imagine the horror that Steve might buy a coin with no animal.:)
We will all just have to agree to disagree. To me, even the lightest Bing version makes the shadows obscure the face and wash out the hair. Sure...
All I'm missing seeing from this page now is the Civil War type with hands on both sides.
My suggestion for both is the same. Both are too dark on my screen. I prefer light that falls more on the face than on the back of the head....
Modern handshake protocol involves wrapping the four fingers around the other hand 'grip and grin'. So far all we have seen show straight out...
Recently we had a thread on fighter hands but this is to show friendly ones. The first coin is the last of my newps from the Robinson sale and...

Each of these will be relatively easy to ID except for the small one in the center which lacks important parts of the legend. You may not care...
I don't see the dot and the coin does not weigh 6.5 to 5g as required to be a 13 so I'd say it is the common 15b like mine below. [ATTACH]
M, N, H and A can get confusing due to handwriting differences between places and times. To me the worst is when H and N confuse Heraclea and...
I prefer open trays with little acid free tags for ID but when the bulk exceeded my bank vault holdings I moved 'lesser' coins into paper...
The grain and poppy in hand suggests Ceres. The Rome version has a patera and is IDed as Concordia. Furniture students should love that chair...
I call mine fourree but it is a fair question. I believe the originals were reasonably good silver. [ATTACH]
My early denarius is from the mint at Ephesis. [ATTACH]
When it comes to fancy incuses, any of the Magna Graecia group is hard to beat. This Stater is from Sybaris before 510 BC. [ATTACH]
Separate names with a comma.
