Nice coins everyone! I like these coins and have many of them. Somehow though, I haven’t taken pictures of many of them. Here’s one that I...
Here is mine I mentioned earlier. Not a great image but it will work. I haven’t tried cleaning the obverse of this coin up because it has a bit...
Not my area of knowledge either… so this opinion shouldn’t hold much weight until you can match it against reference examples… but it looks cast...
A very fun read, thank you! I have one of these that I'll take a picture of later tonight and add. Gallienus is one of those emperors that in...
@7Calbrey in case you weren’t sure, I think yours is Antioch mint with maybe an ANB mint mark. How do I know? I bought your coin’s emperor cousin...
New photo looks good! I also like the macro shots. It’s so much fun to dive into the details really close up sometimes. I’ve been thinking on...
No ideas from me… I’m terrible with Byzantine or post-western empire coinage but I like learning so pop into all threads and will be following...

Great coins @maridvnvm ! I love FH coins! Glad to see a couple threads about them lately. Trier is the only mint I’m missing for both CII and CG....
I think I have a similar portrait attributed to Rome... but mine has better sideburns. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Quintillus - FORTVNA REDVX - Rome - RIC...

Interesting post! I personally don’t think your Siscia coin and the Milan gold portrait look very similar… but that’s just my snap opinion....
Speaking of strange investments… My brother makes (friendly) fun of me for my hobby being the trading of perfectly good money for money that has...
I’m got sure how great Procopius was but I always liked this story (one version of several) of his death. “Though Valens initially despaired of...
The dupondius seems to be the most scarce for Gordian. Too many ants, 2 Ases, 8-ish sestercies… but no dups here yet!
I took a quick shot of my coin similar to the OP. It's nicer than I remembered! Picture is a bit dark but it's what I could do in the short amount...
You don’t see them that often. I have this As and another of the same type as yours (in rougher shape and unphotographed) versus 65 or so Gordian...
I really like those coins, great catch. I have a really ugly example. I've always wanted to get a top notch version... but not pay top notch prices!
That's a really cool coin! I love that Pegasus! ...and I hope you don't mind me saying this... my coin photography is not good, using just a...
