I consider it an interesting question why the world eventually settled on what we now assume a coin should be. The Chinese cast shapes before...
RIC dates the Constantius to 300-301 as part of an issue by the four tetrarchs then current. It is distinctive by the KV which RIC comments is to...
When you have collected for 50 years, having only two of something common qualifies as 'little interest'. My other has less pleasing style to me....
You may soon find that 'one of each' is a lot more than two coins. A set a Athenian tetradrachms needs an Archaic lump which is more charming...
I don't see any Eastern blood and am aware of none in the literature. I don't recall if I have shown this before. I got it from NFA years...
This is a very nice example of what is usually struck on a small flan losing a lot of legend. They come in IMP VIII also. All considered, this...
Not in the picture I see. The K is across from the V under the E.
So is this K-Є/V//ANT or Є/K-V//ANT?
That is about half the dealers but double the percentage of world/ancient compared to my beloved Baltimore shows. I have always wondered why...
For a short period Commodus to Septimius, Alexandria produced denarii which I doubt ever circulated in Egypt but were used for military pay in...
While I like your coin, I do not like dealers or anyone to attach grading labels two grades above reasonable levels. There are dealers out there...
[ATTACH] Yours is nicer than mine but "Other: VF+/EF SCARCE!" is ridiculous. Note that the rat can face left or right. What happened under...
Obviously I disagree with this having posted the 192-196 period Alexandria mint denarii. Provincial or Imperial, Alexandria had a distinctive...
I thought I wanted one decades ago when you could get a nice liberal as for $1000 but I could not talk myself into spending that much of a single...
Do these count? Commodus and Clodius Albinus (one each) and two from Pertinax, Septimius Severus and Julia Domna. I believe these are all the...
Ptolemy II 46mm 90.1g [ATTACH] Ptolemy III 36mm 38.2g Chi-Rho under eagle [ATTACH]
Same coin that started this thread. Now I agree with Narana/Narendra http://www.grifterrec.com/coins/huns/huns.html a bit over half way down page.
This is a coin I find very interesting but I am personally afraid to buy. There are so many fakes of Apollonia coins that I'd not consider one...
I retired long enough ago that my last expensive suit is older than most of the coins sold at those shows. Most dealers I buy from don't wear...
ERIC I does not have this. My ERIC II is in the attic so I did not check it to see if it handles it but the way ERIC is laid out you first had to...
Separate names with a comma.
