That is indeed a great looking drachm of Alexander II Zabinas, Pavlos. I thought the name sounded familiar and found I do have one - a crude...
I made the seller an offer he couldn't refuse and bought it. Looking at his other offerings, I don't see a hoard pattern - everything is Greek,...
I voted no...without really knowing for sure. I have a Vespasian that is similar - Spes reverse. Maybe a reverse match? [ATTACH] Vespasian Æ...
A million thanks! I was having a heck of a time finding anything in my usual haphazard, wild-guess way of doing things. I appreciate it.
Thank you Bing - I need all the reassurance I can get. This was one of my first ancients, way before "forgery network" or anything .com.
You are still an okay judge in my book, ominus1! I appreciate the feedback.
Ran across this "opportunity" and wondering if I should go for it. The problem is, I cannot figure out what it is. It's pretty rough, but I find...
Hmm. This post is making me nervous. I have the OP - bought it from a reputable dealer, illustrated mail-order catalogue, a long time ago -...

This is an interesting discussion...rather out of my bottom-feeding low-budget league, but still instructive - thank you all. I looked at this...

Sorry to hear about the loss of your brother Henry. That is a beautiful coin you got there - beautiful art is eternal, they say. And that is a...
What a lovely bunch of sestertii in the OP, JG. I think that Lucius Verus is my favorite, but I wouldn't mind owning any of them... So, not to...
You beat me to the punch, Ryro - I was working on a reply... but here it is: Yeah, I am not entirely convinced that PR = Vindex, if only because...
Strange but true:...
I finally got a Julian early this year - my only one. The portraits on these are often quite impressive. [ATTACH] Julian II the Apostate Æ...
For about two years now I've been collecting ancient countermarks, and I have found it to be a rewarding, occasionally frustrating experience....
Yeah, ERIC II never really worked for me either. But I'm technologically challenged. I did another OCRE search of Faustina II AEs with Venus...
I don't know...the hand is awfully close to the head, with what looks like a "connection" (a veil?) from hand-to-head. Also the drapery hanging...
A real work of art. Impressive, panzerman.
