If you thinks that's high relief, you should take a look at an aureus!
Earlier this evening the website www.coinarchives.com went from being a free-to-all database of completed auctions to a paysite. Now, only...
As far as ancients go, I would be here all day naming undervalued things. But the most overvalued are, without a doubt: "Tribute pennies" of...
Me and that coin, we will never meet again on the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomand.
Very cool token. Let us know if you find anything out!
Not too far off at all. The idea is the same, the annona was essentially a grain dole traditionally granted by the Emperor to the city of Rome...

Please provide a picture or at least a complete transcription of the obverse legend, reverse legend, and mintmark.
Please explain how. All I see are pleasing, chocolate-brown surfaces. What at first glances look cleaning scratches actually appear to be deeper...
I've always been fascinated by the double sestertii of Postumus myself. I bid on, and lost, a very interesting one with legible undertype of a...
And I would say you're wrong. Assuming its genuine, Krause lists the common variety (with dot) at $12 in XF. I would venture that price to be on...
You know where I stand. Good job, Toad!
