Nice coin, but why keep it in the plasticine tomb when it's clearly tooled and the slab proudly states that unfortunate fact? Any service which...
I don't know the composition of the material, on coins I've worked on it seems like re-deposited brittle microcrystalline metallic silver, though...
I asked elsewhere but didn't get a straight answer. Is it safe to say that the hoard (or hoards) full of owls and Asia Minor staters were...
I have no experience with them but believe that some Norman/Crusader states issued coinage imitating the more regionally common Islamic issues,...
That appears to be from Pergamon in Mysia, struck under the magistrate Diodoros. It's quite an attractive coin, I don't consider most Pergamon...
I'm not sure about the policies of the different grading services but given the apparent crystallization and chipping above his head you may not...
Another vote for the stater of Lokris, as it's the only one here that's already on my list and yours is quite lovely. That's a great selection of...
Bad cast fakes, if this "friend" was pressuring you to buy these worthless pieces then he really isn't much of a friend, be careful around him, he...
Thanks for the insight @Al Kowsky ! I hope you don't mind me picking your brain some more. So is the maturation of the market for the provincial...
Very nice minty tet! I can certainly appreciate the appeal of these chunky eastern Roman silvers, I have a few common ones but wouldn't mind...
I can't speak for Doug, but within a few seconds I also identified the tooled sestertius, despite being infinitely less experienced than him. That...
Like many of you I can't choose an ultimate unchanging favorite as that depends on the mood of the day and the sub-collections being worked on at...
Sweet finds galba! The Celtic tetradrachm came out nice and that newly dug denarius looks like it'll clean up very well. Thanks for sharing, your...
Great thread as usual @Ryro! I own none yet unfortunately, but when the right juicy bronze as shows up I'll be all over it. Another absolutely...
That last one is a "potin" (cheapo copper alloy containing a minimal amount of silver) tetradrachm of Aurelian, who reigned from 270-275. It's...
Howdy Mike, I don't know Postumus coinage so will withhold any opinions, but can you tell us how you came across the coin?
I've always thought that Ancient Resource fella was a goofball with prices 5-10x what they should be, but it looks like you sniffed out a winner...
My general sense derived from repeated observations of detectorist-sellers hawking their finds on eBay is that most limes denarii are found in...
It's nice and all but does little for me personally. Aesthetically it's got nothing on the 3,500 year old Pylos Combat Agate which was already...
Interesting piece, thanks for sharing! I haven't ever specifically sought them out but somehow managed to accumulate a handful of these fiat...
