Very attractive patina on that one! Do you have images of any of the coins you sold? Like the others, I have the two most common Agrippa AE's...
Had to dig this one up - Grasshopper on an AE of Kainon (no longer in my collection). Not sure how many other grasshoppers are out there. [ATTACH]...
Bob to the rescue! Thanks - it is indeed the same coin - apparently Themis put it into a bulk lot when it didn't sell in that auction....
No worries! Ill keep poking/asking around and post back here if I figure it out!
The funny thing about barbarous imitations is that they are all rare, so none of them are. You could buy thousands or even tens of thousands of...
Valens: http://www.tesorillo.com/aes/102/102i.htm
Yup, it has CVS CAE - so Tetricus II Caesar as its model. Reverse seems to be Mars. Won't get too much further than that, I'm afraid.
Never fails - I end up unexpectedly keeping at least one coin out of almost every lot I ever buy to flip. The latest stood out to me for the very...
I figured I would answer based on which I would hold on to the longest if I needed to liquidate for some quick cash. 1. Indo Sassanian 2. Roman...
Augustus is one of those weird emperors where you can find ratty examples all day long, but you better be prepared to shell out 4 digits for...

This past weekend I had a little bit of time to sit down and image some of my Greek collection, which is probably 75% comprised of coins I bought...
Not Augustus but I would bet Celtiberian Hispania. If there is a city name, it is worn off, but here is a denarius of Bolskan to compare the...
I'm just about at the end of my road, too. Theodosius [ATTACH] West: Honorius [ATTACH] Missing: - Constantine III (missed one in the CNG...
The OP rules were officially recognized rulers, so most would be OK to skip. The hang-up would be Constantius III, who was a legit emperor - he's...
Assuming no Valerius Valens, I'll get us kicked off again - Valentinian dynasty Jovian [ATTACH] Procopius (cousin of Julian II and usurper...
Are we waiting on a Valerius Valens before moving on? Can't say I have ever seen one posted here (or offered for sale, for that matter!)
Valerian coins are interesting not only for the history behind the man himself, but also the incredible variation in the portrait styles. This is...
@Suarez, thanks for the clarification! And an impressive set of usurpers you have there! I have a few more up my sleeve, but I'm out after...
