Great post! I don't actively collect the terminal empire, beyond "one of each emperor" and I gravitate toward the nicer types. I do have a small...
Excellent grab! There were two that went up for auction in the past week - my bids got stomped down both times! He's in my "maybe someday" wish...
Recent win from Savoca London; not in hand yet but had to share! [ATTACH] Septimius Severus AR Denarius IMP C AEL SEP SEV PERT AVG, Laureate...
I wouldn't condemn the last group immediately. From my experience, your friend is more likely to have all fake coins than mostly fake and some...
Bad fakes of Athens tetradrachms made in modern times.
Nice examples! I only own one official mule, a coin of Constantine with a PROVIDENTIAE CAESS reverse intended for Crispus or Constantine Jr...
Lots of goodies in this one! All lots end Sunday, 1/12 starting at about 4:30 PM EST...
Thanks all! What honestly excites me the most is to see two more of these in the lot (about center, on the right side, one upright, one upside...
I've been silent about this up until now, but it seems that a small hoard of early Indo Sassanian coins was dug up (mostly from my Series 1.1 and...
I was shocked too when I saw a non-gold from Panzerman! Parthian coins are fun, but never really "clicked" for me, probably because Vonones is...
I agree that $45 is a nice deal. It's a great coin, but the obverse is not sharp like I would expect from a $60 coin. Good reverse though and...
Interesting question that I don't have a straightforward answer for. Personally, my definition gets a lot more strict as you move up the...
You'd be surprised what you can get for culls on ebay. Late last summer I bought a bulk 250 coin lot from a Triskeles auction, picked out the ~5...
What an interesting portrait on that one! It is missing the reverse inscription, otherwise I would assume that was a Flavian era restitution coin.
The Maxentius is probably a good buy, but I would probably pass on the rest. Larger Licinius coins are more scarce than smaller ones, but there...
Agreed on the Caligula Vesta As - it took me a few months of searching on Ebay (if you have the app, you can set up alerts to come to your phone)...
I thought the Lydian WALWET coins were possibly older, associated to Alyattes? The oldest I have depicting the issuing monarch is Ptolemy I - I...
That's a nice chunk of silver. Forget bullet money - that's a small cannonball! I've put in a few middling bids for these but have never actually...
It appears authentic, except that there is another one for sale right now, same chunky letters, same flan shape, same dies, exact same wear...
Lovely coin! I was not aware of the type. I do have only one Antonia, one of my more recent acquisitions [ATTACH] I have a Claudius but it's at...
Separate names with a comma.
