We who read English are more likely to be competing for coins with UK collectors who might be expected to favor the mint located on their soil....
Guideline: If you see a sestertius of Septimius with complete legends on both sides and no really offensive faults, buy it. If you see one with...
I suppose no one wants coins of a loser and his kid. There are coins of Licinius that do sell for big money (the facing portrait types are not...
[ATTACH] Different letters; same basic type
The coin is a good start for $10. Many ancients have a crack and yours is in no way improved by the crack but that is a minor fault compared to...
Martin is far ahead of me in most respects. I only have six from one obverse die. I believe there is a die with at least a dozen reverses but do...

Since I only average a bit over 5 coins a month, you can tell your wife that I'm a good influence. Of course you will have to still be collecting...
Do the math. Divide your two years worth and multiply by the fifty years I have been in the hobby. The number might be your projected total in...
I would prefer we not call the Eastern mint denarii 'Provincials'. They were not made for local use only and seem to have circulated wherever the...
Both are great examples of later portraits with the corkscrew beard. My example shows a Nikopolis from earlier in the reign. Double striking...
It is not just my coins. I'll challenge you to show even one of these which has a horse's rear on the flan. Some one needs to research when the...
Because of the several reductions of weight, you can find various different weights for various denominations. Here are my 40.0g as and my 14.17g...
Which of you has this one? Why not? :) http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=37022
