Are there any sources on this you can cite? I would be interested in reading them.
A textbook cast counterfeit. Sorry.
Not at all. The bronzes were a token coinage only, for small change. People didn't pay that much attention to them.
CT isn't my homepage, but its always the 2nd or 3rd page I check. Ebay is the homepage, then I check the facebook (usually the coin groups on...
Sounds good to me. :thumb:
Its a Gallienus antoninianus on a large flan, possibly of decent silver quality, if not at least its well silvered. Laetitia is rendered rather...

I'll let you do it. :rolleyes: The larger coin is Roman provincial. I can't read the Greek letters on either the obverse (which would state the...
Very nice tenacious. I ordered that book from the college library system, can't wait to read it.
I enjoyed working on my collection of US-Philippine coins. Even have a few proofs; an impaired 1903 1/2 centavo and a 1904 centavo.
