I tend to file semi-autonomous coins at the end of the Provincials rather than mixing them with the ruler's portrait coins. This is convenient...
We have a terminology difference here. Verdigris is what we get on the surfaces of copper that protects it from the elements. There is a fine...
I have always loved Steve's coin shown here. Does anyone know why we see two geese and an ivy leaf with H here but the more common one is one...
I have seen no evidence they were found "amongst genuine coins". Salting uncleaned groups with 'fillers' is known. Certainly they are not...
[IMG] Those who support these being genuine: Show some other examples with small lettering in a wide border around a small wreath. I have a...

If you read the instructions from Craig's List you will see they suggest meeting in a public place and not going alone. His requirement to go to...
For non collectors who like to be confused: If there are four assaria in a Greek tetrassarion, what do we call a Roman coin of four asses?...
The obvious question to me is whether the rough surfaces on the coins as shown after souping is a result of the soup or just the way they were...
A coin of four asses; tetra is four, assarion is one as so Tetrassaria = 4 asses
Realizing how opposed Steve usually is to taking a thread over chasing unrelated rabbits, I guess this must be a legitimate pile on following is...
This is not what I think of when hearing Proto-Contorniate. Those had more damage with a groove to hold in a standard. They always seem to look...
