Nice one! My example is from London; eventually I hope to get an earlier and even heavier one that's closer to the full 10g [ATTACH] Also don't...
There's an idea- Which ruler is that? It's on the tip of my tongue but I can't remember offhand. On a related note, I also found this one,...
Roma lots arrived! Still sifting through the piles, but this one I feel deserves a standalone thread! Trajan AE Sestertius, AD 116. IMP CAES NER...
Should probably mention that I base my pricing on raw coins sold at auction, not slabbed ones sold at retail. I missed out on both of these,...
Sharp! That's the easy part- a straight denarius run of the 12 Caesars is not for the faint of heart! I'd wager that most members here have never...

Some non-Islamic obscure series: Unknown AE11, presumed to be Kushan-related due to the style of the reverse figure's clothing. Never seen...

Any success? I was also after the one with the Vabalathus as Augustus and the one with the Johannes - tapped out on the first and missed the...
Back to the original question - 1) Were Greek coins actually debased? I know that the Attic standard was mostly abandoned in favor of lighter...
Beautiful coin! I'll echo @TuckHard - Indian coins are absolutely an acquired taste, but these Gupta drachms IMO capture the essence of golden...
Another surprise win from Auctiones [ATTACH] Hammered for about half of my max bid - people must have been sleeping on this one because I...
Whoops :D Which one were you after, or was it both?
Could be Ptolemaic - they sometimes coarsely filed the edges of their coins. Looks like the obverse could be Zeus, too. [ATTACH]
@Severus Alexander £440 for the lot including the Galerius Antoninus (IMO, it would be worth nearly that much -without- the Galerius Antoninus,...
