I didn't buy any coins in December, so I'll have to go back to Nov to see what i got... I got my first Ptolemaic Tetradrachm... [IMG] Egypt,...
They're still really fun!
The 2 right ones (in pic 1, obverses) look like they are Volusian and are a obverse die match. I want to say the lower left obv one is Valerian....
Well, those are from Antioch too lol, just the other one. :) That one isn't as familiar to me, but just the standards and the SRs are the giveaway.
And it looks like RPC online database doesn't include Syrian coinage, so no Antioch... I'll keep looking. I want o find a bearded one too. :)
Yea, I haven't seen an Antiochene one with a portrait like that either... I'll check in RPC online.
Like I said, no McAlee for me either, but his supplement to his book is F, R, E, E, Free!...
Oh, darn! I got confused... I have Butcher's Coinage in Roman Syria and not McAlee... I've fixed my errors above. Lol hey, it's late!
Cool! I've got some of those! [IMG] Elagabalus, Ruled 218-222 AD AE19, Syria, Antioch Mint Obverse: AYT KAI M AVP ANTWNEINOC, radiate bust...

I really like the portrait on your new coin, @Spaniard! I have a couple MAs near in chronology to yours: [IMG] Marcus Aurelius, Ruled 161-180 AD...
This is an interesting thread, RC! It appears I have a pre-reform dupondius in my collection... It's not the prettiest, but looks like it was...
I love the variety you have, FF! I'm the same way! I really like your #1 Carthage, and your #8 Akragas, but that GIII Victory is gorgeous!...
Such a great 2019, RC! My faves are #9, #7, and #4.
I'm really captivated by your 180 double strike #10! Super fascinating! But that #1 is something else entirely! Great 2019 and here's to a...
Thank you, PtolemAE & AA! I reached out to CNG and graciously Brad there shed some light on the situation: first, BAR stands for... B....
I'm not an expert, but I'm not thinking so... I'm curious to hear others' perspectives. It's too circular of a flan (pressed?), the...
Sev, do you have any links to any recent lots in mind that I could use as reference if I reached out to CNG?
