Those with any interest in Chinese Coins will want to but David Hartill's book Cast Chinese Coins. It enabled me to ID the couple hundred I have...
Venus is a common type in several poses. Most people prefer the rear view which is common. [ATTACH] Front views of dressed Venus are available...
Another approach would be to replace the later Septimius and Albinus with 193 types. Avoid dating devices like COS II on either side of the coin....
Good group. I don't know what the two not shown are but you might want a first legend coin and one from an Eastern mint. #2 is a special type...
I would place them in later 195. If you want something after the defeat of Albinus after the closure of the Emesa mint, you might want a Laodicea...
Declaring a victory against a specific foe when that foe was a Roman who had recently been your Caesar would be tacky at best. After all it was...
I resemble that remark.
Nice coin but you hit on the question. I am not a Postumus specialist but I do have about 20 of his ants. I do not have this one so I might buy...
For consistency, we should call the common ones 'Amisos' the city name in Pontos if we are going to use Sinope (city) in Paphlagonia. Both...
I also like Victory coins that list the defeated. Martin's coin is from Laodicea and reverse to the Arabs and Adiabeni as AR AD. Mine is...
I really wanted a Liberal as about 40 years ago but the decent ones were $1000 and I wasn't about to pay that. I have seen nice ones now for...
I really like the Republicans and hope you will be rephotographing them again and again until you get them just right. When we see one side...
As a matter of fact I am skipping this month's show but we always ride the bus that lets us off at the door. That is one reason to dress like...
What emperor has more types naming specific places? TD got around for such a short reign.
I'm worse. Not only will I not buy from Bulgaria, I see no reason for buying things I can get easily otherwise from places I question in any way....
I can't say I see anything boring about the genius type naming Illyrica or that I understand why Pannoniae shaking hands are better than those in...
My examples point out that this problem did not exist for the Romans. When the coins were new, dupondii of this period were yellow brass while...
Note the beard growth between the JB and Bing coins. Many of us feel the need for two coins of Macrinus. I did but neither were this reverse nor...
On the new coin I suspect the AΛEΞANΔΡOΥ is divided AΛE---ΞANΔΡ------OΥ so the "A (or Λ) Γ" above the eagle is ΔΡ. I see OY at right and traces...
The coin has good marks for condition but, as AJ said, the thing worth noting is the wonderful style. How many of us consider style? Mine is a...
Separate names with a comma.
