I see the OP Elymais coin as vH 13.1 subtype 1.2 As I see it some coins have E and are 5, some have delta and are 4, some are not marked but...
I really see nothing about the OP coin that looks like a fourree. There are many styles of Commodus portraits. Below is my favorite but it is...
So I suspected mostly from the fact that the coin was so low grade that the number of people who might recognize it as special would be very...
I don't have that one either but have been looking for one. What I can say is that this one's strong feature is the one that matters. He had...
Every so often I get a coin and ask myself why I bought it. Today the mail included something much worse - a coin I didn't remember buying. It...
I find it interesting that the Gallic rulers have very few animal coins (Postumus has a Castor with horse that is super rare but what others???)....
The coin is clearly Pautalia To the original question: We should not call provincials by the names of Roman denominations. This is not a...
Steve's type is my favorite Kushan and the largest. Again, finding them less worn and full legend is a task.
I can't say I see the horse but I do suggest buying any of these with original types rather than copies of the official ones like Pax and Spes....
I always found it interesting that the ray count went down with the date. What would they do at zero? Perhaps there is something about this...

My situation exactly. Every so often I get home from a show and wonder just what was I thinking but more often a coin that I considered marginal...

While I agree that dedicated macro lenses are great for coin and I use a Canon 100mm macro for my coin photos, one point of my page was that you...
With my DSLR, I use f/9 or f/11 but suggest f/5.6 if you are using a small format point and shoot. Stopping down more can lose sharpness to...
I'm told there are a few members of the Tidewater club driving to Richmond to take the bus to the Baltimore show March 28 (7:30 AM departure). If...
The mailman struggled to my door today to deliver two 'massive' new coins. First at 3.33g and 16mm is an Elymais drachm from Frank Robinson (my...
Excellent coin, Ice! Mine is a year older, not as nice and shows Septimius. Note on both our coins the reverse legend ends with an omega you...
Not in the defense of this seller, I have one I consider worse. He had a slabbed Septimius Severus denarius (Victory MINT STATE) I wanted so I...
Since I have been doing photography for a long time, my suggestions might be criticized as overly complex. For that reason, I wrote a special...
