Hey all, Not much new here. No new nice coins lately but that hasn't stopped me from budget shopping. Below are seller's photos from a "Buy it...
With the pointy nose… has to be Maximian huh?
@happy_collector Congrats on the coin. The obverse bust is fantastic! Here’s one of mine from Nicomedia, unlisted from this officina. [ATTACH]...
They’re not always someone standing there coins! …sometimes they’re sitting. :p [ATTACH]
Looking at the legend, it looks to be Trajan Decius rather than Philip with a legend something like AVT K Γ ME KY ΔEKIOC TΡAIANOC CEB. Look...
Here’s my similar Valerian. Alexandria Troas had some interesting coinage with lots of animals and architecture. [ATTACH]
Here’s a worn but favorite coin of mine showing the taming of Bucephalus. Like many of my coins, this one needs a better photo taken. Even at the...
Great write up, very interesting. Although I don’t have one, I didn’t realize how rare they were. While I don’t have a consular bust from Milan, I...
Not my coin… but I suppose this coin type including a Chi-Rho/labarum would be a topic in your paper. See the coin description within the link....
You have an amazing collection! For me personally, I have many Probus coins in great condition... but they are fairy common. Here is a coin that...

Ooooh, those look like a ton of fun! While those VICTORIAE GOTHIC coins are the popular ones for Claudius II… There’s a Claudius II VICTOR GERMAN...
Absolutely fake dies (not that I’m an “expert”). Besides the odd style… On my coin (which I believe was made by the same operation)… the legend...
Seems the only two photos I have on my phone are provincials… so there’s a few fun ones from the backwoods. [ATTACH] Alexandria Troas SNG Cop 134v...
I don’t get to trot out the Theos often. Here are just a few that I have (poorly) photographed. [ATTACH] Cyzicus RIC IX 25b [ATTACH]...
I have a similar coin (obverse gives me the vibe it’s from the same “artist”) of Constantius NOB C AVG! …bought because it was a fun fake and $5....
The type is in FORVM’s fake reports as well. Image and text below from that fake report listing:...
Nice new coin! I've always found these Nabataean coins very interesting but only have one in my collection so far. I don't have the reference...
Back in 2016 or so I noticed an unattributed FH of Magnentius in a cruddy eBay lot. It was pretty well hidden so I was hoping I was the only one...
