I had to go for the Geta damnatio - I have a weakness for countermarks and that pushed me over the edge. But all of them are marvelous. A great,...
Wonderful coins, all of them. I voted for No. 4 because the artistry of Dejected Germania is just superb. She really looks sad.
That is an impressive collection, Finn 235. I had no idea how many "imitatives" there were - but then I know virtually nothing about Kushan...
Those are some great write-ups, Curtisimo! Lots of information and impressive illustrations.
The more I see of these Kushans, the more I am impressed. Now I want one of those - I like that radiate thing going on around his head. I'm also...
I always enjoy the "why we collect what we collect" posts on CT, for they help clarify my rather incoherent thoughts on the subject. And so...
Another great write-up Jochen1. And a lot of very nice coins. I wish I had a better specimen to share, but this sestertius of Antoninus Pius...
My only non-RR janiform heads - I got this one out of the local dealer's junk bin (and it pretty much looks like a junk bin find): [ATTACH]...
Congratulations on hitting RIC 1. A while back I was somewhat thrilled to hit an RIC 2. Still waiting for a No. 1, however. [ATTACH]...
My very first ancient (bought in 1987) was a Septimius Severus with MARS PATER reverse - [ATTACH] This AE of Marcus Aurelius is a little rough,...
A spectacular coin, TIF - artistry, centering, condition. It has it all. I have two of these, which happened to fit my budget. One of them has...
Thank you, David. That is a lovely specimen - I will add it to my reference material for this coin. I look forward to seeing your Seleucus /...
Well, call me fickle. Like Doug suggests, I too tend to be especially fond of the latest arrival. Yesterday, from fellow CTer via eBay came an...
I really like the countermark on that. I did a quick online search and came up with a couple of things that might relate: CoinTalk - a very...
Interesting thread. I have a Gallienus that weighs 5.8 grams, by far the heaviest one I have. The planchet is rather thick, but not doubled, I...
Interesting coins and catastrophes. Here's a ghastly Trebonianus Gallus SALVTARI Apollo, the sestertius version. Looks like a disgruntled...
Nice one, Michael Stolt. All that detail on the reverse is hard to find. As much as I love this type, mine are all somewhat worn (especially my...
I'm not really sure but my guess would be "not rare." To get a rough idea, I did a Google Image search "cilicia korykos hermes" and quite a few...
Some really nice portraits on this thread. Faustina II is one of my favorites - abundant and affordable. Finding a stylistically pleasant...
I am not certain, but this might be a match, or similar - as Kevin says, from Cilicia: [ATTACH] Cilicia, Korykos Æ21 (c. 1st Century B.C.)...
