Very cool idea and nice, creative sets of chess pieces!! I'm curious if someone were able to create a set (well, one player's set) from one ruler...
I would agree. The obverse is decent but with so many Sev Alex examples available, it's average. And the reverse had a worn die. Overall though...
In the spirit of learning, it is Liberalitas on the coin reverse, as opposed to Libertas. She represents the generosity of the emperor giving the...
Great new denarius, @Shea19! I have a rough As with a similar reverse... [IMG] Divus Marcus Aurelius, Ruled 161-180 AD AE As, Issued under...
Lovely puck, ACH! I got this smaller one a couple months ago to go along with my Hieron II imitation series of it (ex1, ex2). It is the...
Though it lists a RY23 version as well, but it looks almost like a B and not a G... [ATTACH] [ATTACH] https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/4/15704

I was going to say that I see another letter in the lower right, be it an H, Z, or in that case a B. That can help to narrow down emperors who...
And just like that it disappeared and left red rocks and a small metal pyramid/prism-shape in its place... [ATTACH]...
When I was scrolling through the list and seeing your #2, I couldn't imagine what would've pushed Antinous down from a deserved #1 spot. Then I...
@David Atherton recently had a thread that skewed a book on the subject... https://www.cointalk.com/threads/enough.368271/#post-4943247 And I...
Nice! And it isn't the "traditional" Spes reverse, so that's a bit more special! And like RC said, they are often well used. [IMG] Aelius as...
Nice new temple, @hotwheelsearl, and at 27mm, it is a good size. Congrats on your first! I'm sure it won't be your last. I have one, though...
Sixbid's archive site is free and okay as a first, cursory look: https://www.sixbid-coin-archive.com/#/en I often will look at multiple sources,...
I got my coin for my SS delivered yesterday and I just got it packaged up to go out in the mail tomorrow. I'm super excited!!
Maybe this? [ATTACH] Marcus Aurelius, as Caesar, 139 - 161 AD AE Sestertius, Rome Mint, 31mm, 24.22 grams Obverse: AVRELIVS CAES AVG PII F, Bare...
Yep, looks like Marcus Aurelius. I'm thinking the reverse deity looks like Virtus to me. Might be tough narrowing it down further other than...
I picked up a Byzantine lot to get 2 specific coins within it, and want to offer the others here to you if anyone is interested. [ATTACH] $85...
Great coins, @BenSi! I picked up a small Byz lot and an lone byz. One matches your large Justinian, but the Delta officina (44mm, 21g). I placed...
Haha, yea, I guess so! That is a pretty nice portrait for Claudius II!
