Here's a couple of SALVS sestertii from Antoninus Pius - [ATTACH] Antoninus Pius Æ Sestertius (144 A.D.) Rome Mint ANTONINVS AVG PIVS [PP TR...
Nice coin! I have a Lucius Verus as featuring three trophies on the reverse that are possibly Armenian. Condition is poor, but like the OP this...
Titus is a great way to start off the New Year, Orfew. I like it! My collection is pretty scanty in the Titus area - here is my favorite, if not...
That is a lovely example of the half follis, Tejas - probably the nicest I saw from the ones I saw poking around on the 'net. Thanks for sharing...
Thanks for the observation, PlanoSteve - you made me look closer! :watching: I think those are pits, not holes. However, looking closer, they...
My first purchase this year was a batch of five Byzantine folles from eBay, otherwise undescribed. One was weird and worn with an odd reverse -...
Pax vobiscum! Another Philip II - this a sestertius: [ATTACH]
Again, interesting overview, BenSi. I agree that the coins show evidence of chaos and haste. But it just occurred to me that these cut-down...
I'm especially impressed by that obverse countermark. Nice.
Really nice coins and a nice way to start out the year, Luke. I have a Severus Alexander sestertius with Providentia similar to yours, but not...
Thank you for that enlightening answer, BenSi - this is very interesting. A follis cut down to a tetarteron denomination makes a lot of sense.
Al, thank you so much for taking the time to straighten out my attribution - I really appreciate it. I don't have McAlee's book and therefore...
This seemed a bit peculiar to me. A very tiny Byzantine Class B anonymous follis. At first I thought I'd found a unique half follis and I was...
Gosh, there are some nice coins in the post. My heart's all a'flutter. I only have one Macrinus, a two-headed Antioch AE, with his son:...
That's a pretty nice one, especially the reverse, but I'm not crazy about the portrait for the price. Maxentius is an interesting guy to pursue...
As others have mentioned, I like that Maxentius (unless the reverse is a disaster) for the price.
Just off hand I am not sure about this, but in the past I have found this website to be extremely helpful with bronze coins of Alexander:...
Looking forward to seeing what is under the dirt of centuries - that's a nice big one! (Though you might lose a couple of grams from the dirt).
I like both of those, zumbly. Wear of this sort is pretty much my favorite "look" - something about the evidence of use appeals to me. A few...
Carthago, that is spectacular. So that's what all that missing detail on mine should look like :)!!!
