This, this this. Ebay takes some work, but browsing through coins is half the fun for me, and it feels a little bit like a treasure hunt (because...
Yep... now that I think about it I spend way more time taking coins out of flips to handle them than I do reading tags. Hell, I spend more time...
Great for context and imagining ancient hands holding ancient coins and doing ancient things with them. Plus, the Greek geography is still a bit...
I thought it looked cast off the bat. That the type doesn't exist in that metal makes it seem even more likely..
I'm going to guess that reverse is Sol in a quadriga, holding a globe (SOLI INVICTO COMITI), and it's either Constantine or Licinus's face on the...
Wow that reverse is a stunner. There should be a special word for that combination of sadness and absolute relief you get when outbid on a bid...
I don't think that reverse could have worn any more attractively. Did we ever find out how Ken Dorney nabbed that Agrippa for under a dollar?
This is a GREAT site for identifying late Roman bronzes (LRBs): https://www.tesorillo.com/aes/home.htm It doesn't give RIC numbers, but you only...
I haven't heard of a hybrid denarius--is that another term for a limes denarius? And great OP coin--the hair and eye particularly.
I'm a bottom-feeder, but I'd be pretty excited about these... it looks like a lot of fun.
Smojo-- The yellowish color is just in the photo. The lamp in my living room does that and I've always had a hard time figuring out the white...
Hi All, I recently got these Cherronesos hemidrachms in the mail and was hoping to get some feedback. They look a little funny, but are from a...
I'd keep them both. The camel and saddle on the first would be too good for me to give up, if I had the means to hang onto both. Besides, having...
Great coin, absolutely Trajan-like reverse.
Like Lacointessa said, sometimes attributing coins just requires a lot of patience. You know you've got a Constantine, and in the other thread you...
Glad you're OK and that your home sounds salvageable! Even a mostly-lurker like me misses your positive presence while you're dealing with this...
Congrats DRay!
Three years into collecting ancients and I just learned that tridrachms are a thing:...
Another act of grand generosity. Please count me in.
Holy smokes that's a coin. I'm ineligible, as I won Doug's Julian II Securitas Bull not too long ago, which I still handle regularly and which is...
