Neat. I think I still have a relatively nice six nummi. To be honest, the only 12 I have is one of the enigmatic 'Phocas' light weight imitative...
I remember looking at that coin ! :joyful: [ATTACH] Fourree coins don't have to be terrible. My only fourree, this C. Norbanus. I like the Nero!
I do have plenty of coins of the period 1000-1250. They just happen to be Byzantine or Byzantine offshoots. :) Yes, there's quite a gray area of...
I have many Caracallas, but due to my ineptitude at coin photography, I was only able to cobble together a few random examples. The first; cool...
I don't think I have regular medieval coins, other than Byzantine :shy:. Well...I do have some Sassanian and Nezak Huns, but they don't have...
And to add some flavor to my latest Byzantine post, I listened today to The History of Byzantium "The Empty Fleet." Khrusru II allegedly referred...
This one's on the early end of medieval... [ATTACH] Heraclius, 610-641, Gold Solidus, Sear-734, MIB-8a, Officina-H, struck 613-616 at...
Other than a 'mint state' Severus Rome denarius I bought from HJB and I think I have a decrepit provincial with vis a vis busts of Severus and...
Neat. I wonder what the reason for the MON VRB coins was?
I guess it's also my first Constantine IV. There's a lot of nice Sicilian Folles of him, but the large Constantinople issues are hard to get...
I like them! A really nice Aurelian and Vabalathus, preferably fully silvered, is on my upcoming to-do list. I'm still kicking myself for not...
Yes, I have a less nice Aurelian Sestertius and a tooled double Sestertius.
And per the Claudius Sestertius, to borrow a phrase from the band Roxette, many of the really expensive auction coins have "the look". Many are...
I've always liked the reduced Sestertii argument. Asses would have been pretty worthless by then. This one has an unusually nice portrait....
Thanks! I'm struggling with coin photography.
Why not try a plastic? Make it cool-looking, like a translucent color.
The Valerian has an unusually fine portrait. Does anyone have a Claudius II Sestertius? :wideyed::wideyed:
Neat. There's a few more I haven't ordered from on Donna's list. If it has the Donna stamp of approval, it's good enough for me. I'll check...
I have a genuine Domitian, in about the same condition, from when Incitatus Coins would have the Ridiculous Deal of the Week. 10 bucks.
I generally don't buy holed ones. One of my Brutus' was holed and plugged, but beggars can't be choosers.
