Great lot. I look forward to seeing what you come up with when you attribute them. It will be interesting to see what was knocking around the...
I am reviving this old thread because I just got a Postumus with the Minerva Fautrix reverse. When I bought it, I couldn't really tell what it...
Nice one! An interesting, expressive portrait in particular. That red adhesion is very similar to some of mine. But I wish my Claudius fell...
Terence, I can't think of anything to say about that coin except: absolutely stunning. Or: work of art. I'm not sure what is more spectacular,...
Interesting observation, Kevin. It seems from time to time I come across something about how a certain patina originates from a certain kind of...
Yeah, I am baffled by the deposits on this. Most of my AEs are petty low grade, so I have a lot of examples of "deposits" at hand, and most of...
Thank you so much jamesicus for that information. I am a big fan of countermarks and really, really wish my Claudius had come with one. That...
Thank you all for your generous and thought-provoking responses. It'd be great if mine were a light-weight ancient copy, but the reason I'm...
So what do you think of this 31mm beauty? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Note those surfaces: [ATTACH] Before you hit that "thumbs down" button, I already...
Wow. That is an impressive grouping for a "beginning collector" - very handsome, well-selected coins.
Great pictures, David. I really need to get over to Toledo - it's not that far away from me. I'd heard rumors about their great art museum, but...
A very attractive display and a good way to organize coins by epoch, Ryro. My Macedonian shield collection would be easy to organize, since I...
These radiates can be tough to attribute, especially in the condition yours is in - there is just not enough detail left to make a firm...
Just taking a wild guess here, but I would say Tetricus (or Victorinus) - these ruled the so-called Gallic Kingdom, a breakaway area in Gaul...
Nice write-up Valentinian, and nice coins too. I just got a Romanus IV Diogenes from a local dealer's junk box. While researching it, I found...
Nice coins - that sestertius is just how I like them - some wear, interesting, mellow colors, and inexpensive. Here's a big (27 grams) green...
Nice pair of Vespasians, Orfew. I have the Mars with corn-ear, but with a left-facing bust. It is pretty rough, but they are hard to find, I...
A lot of Dutch crowns got cleaned - but otherwise yours is quite nice. For the most part, the 1940 dates do tend to go for more money than the...
My (very) old Krause Standard Catalog puts most 2.5 gulden dates for this issue at $7 fine; the 1940 lists for $30 despite having a higher mintage...
I did have fun! The local guy has interesting junk bins, price $12 to $0.50. I was in a bit of a hurry, so I didn't spend as much time as I'd...
