IMO, it looks far too young to be Septimius. My first impression honestly is that it's Geta. He grew out his beard for the duration of 211 AD and...
Vespasian nemesis for me too, although I really like the Vitellius dynastic denarii!
To be honest, I don't think I've ever seen a Kushan bronze in high enough grade to make out those details on Siva - these seem to average about...
That's a superb Kushan bronze! Congrats! I've dabbled in Kushan a bit, it is quite diverse and fascinating, especially if you let yourself branch...
Glad you got the refund. There are only a few sellers on ebay that I will buy Indo Greek/Indo Scythian coins from... far too many fakes coming out...
Very very cool, once again! Small suggestion... I would love to see a single running thread for all of your detector finds, so we can see the...
Don't think I could pick just one! I do have a few top coins from each of my areas of focus... Roman Imperial: Caracalla AR Denarius, LIBERALITAS...
I have the most common... Republican M Furius denarius [ATTACH] Lampsakos AR Diobol[ATTACH] What fascinates me the most about the lampsakos...
Limes denarii are fun to collect, and IMO, very underpriced especially for the ones associated to wars. I have two, both recent bottom of the...
While far from all-encompassing, the site at http://romancoin.info/ has some great .xls sheets for a few specialty areas, and every coin is given...
Confirmation on the provenance would make the difference between this being a very expensive ancient ring and virtually priceless - IIRC, there...
Very very nice!
The early coins in "good" silver are indeed heavier, although from my experience they usually seem to fall between 3.5-5.5g presumably the...
Most recent job lot find, from a CNG lot. Initially had it set aside for a low grade lot, but then I realized the heft! Gallienus, AE (extremely...
If you skim at about the bottom third quadrant (not the exceptional specimens, not the really nice ones, but not the ones corroded, countermarked,...

It's less clear with early coins; Most coins of Augustus are inscribed in Latin, even the ones of cities where Greek was everyone's first...
WOW! What an exceptional portrait on that denarius!
Nice coins! The legends on Nabataean coins is Nabataean, a descendant of Aramaic, sister script of Hebrew, and the parent of modern Arabic. I had...
Lots of fun coins in this thread! I do have to say, if I had to pick one emperor to have a dinner with, it would probably be Pius. He just seemed...
