To further illustrate my point about CNG photos, here are the contents of another lot from the same auction. Description: "BI Tetradrachms of...
Thanks guys. It's nice to know that I didn't miss something obvious with this one and that it is indeed a rarity. Unfortunately, I had bought...
The thought did cross my mind, but here is a side by side of this coin versus a sestertius of her husband, from the same lot: [ATTACH] The...
Beautiful coin! I especially like the rendition of the horse.
Got this interesting one as well yesterday. I can't find an exact match, but I believe it is Maximus Caesar, from Perge in Pamphylia. AE24mm,...
Thanks all, and lovely coins! Taking another closer look at mine, I am increasingly leaning toward it being the ancient equivalent of a "wrong...
Arguably one of the most popular type issues by any Roman empress, Otacilia Severa's Hippopotamus coinage highlight the gaiety of Rome's...
I agree, most wouldn't make the cut for an individual listing, but I've sold a lesser Marius of that type for about $180. Only about three of...
After a nice long mix up at the post office, my lot winnings from CNG finally arrived. More goodies to come, but I had to dig into this lot first....

It's actually modern, believe it or not. 1/2 rupee from Burma, 19th century https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces47926.html
Had a little time for some fun side by side snaps of the 3rd century emperors who I have duplicates of Valerian, looking somewhere between 35 and...
My collection is too narrow to really make such an illustration (if I have duplicates, they are usually quite spread throughout the emperor's...
Beautiful coin, I hope to own one someday! As for price? I'd say somewhere in the $500-750 range, but I'm a cheapskate. *Pawn Stars voice* Best...
Nice way to come out of the dry spell! Cilician coins are some of my favorites; vastly underrated compared to the rest of Greece IMO. I've owned...
Nice coins! That last Diocletian is a stunner! I don't really actively collect the Tetrarchy beyond my "One of each..." set, but I do gravitate...
Every "real" emperor minted coins. In the imperial order of succession, the heir apparent was usually given the title "Caesar" - this was...
