Nice examples! I also only have one Marius currently, although sometimes I wonder if I ought to have just built it into a collection Current...
Nice pickup! The T-Rex arms on these 4th century busts are always a hoot
Thanks all! I weighed the Elagabalus and it came in at 3.05g - based on the figures I'm seeing online, limes denarii from the period tend to...
Don't forget Julia the Elder! (Left, with Julia Augusta AKA Livia, right) [ATTACH] Julia Domna [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Julia Maesa [ATTACH]...
Gallienus is often shunned because of how common his coins are, and also how (unfairly) poor his historical reputation was. He had many...
The Claudius is almost certainly silver wash, but I thought that distilled water was safe? Dry brushing is certainly an option though and i can...
I very rarely clean coins myself unless I think I have a real shot at improving them, and even more rarely do I buy a coin with the specific...
It is interesting once you get down into the nitty gritty of what is and isn't "greek". Numismatically, I consider any coin engraved in the Greek...

I am the definition of "spread too thin" - this has been the most busy two months for Indo Sassanian coins in over a year, and my wallet has been...
Nice pickups! I was too preoccupied with the Leu auction (and also real life stuff) to make any serious bids on Savoca. They had some amazing and...
I used it for years, it's a great web tool. I do nearly all of my photo editing on mobile, and I use one called Image Combiner - it unfortunately...
Very nice! I have one from the post-reform series, but I wonder if it was the same engraver?[ATTACH]
As a whole they don't really appeal to me, although I have dabbled a bit. I can appreciate a nice Byzantine after looking at the wretched European...
Very nice black beauties, all! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Thanks! I do have the Year of Four Emperors, although not quite as impressive [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Considering that 69 AD...
