The past month or so, eBay has had a lot of cheap, cruddy imperial denarii coming up for auction - just my kind of stuff. So I've been scooping...
That's a beautiful example of a Roman Republic denarius, and a great way to start your journey into ancients. Welcome aboard! I have one, not as...
Great post, Valentinian - and I like your site too. Going from a beautiful coin to a pretty poor specimen, I just got a budget denarius of...
I knew I had a Domitian sestertius similar to David's OP, but mine is slightly older - if I am reading what's left of the obverse inscription...
That's my kind of sestertius - nice one, JG! Just got a Hadrian sestertius - definitely low-grade, but I'm not afraid to play with it (and the...
I got this Calabria, Tarentum AR Nomos for $33 in a "buy it now" auction on eBay. The seller moves vast quantities of US and world stuff, only...
Great thread. With a collection like mine, it is pretty much all-inclusive. From the past month - for some reason, cheap, junky denarii have...
Nice coin - and very thorough detective work, RC & Justin. I posted a Marcus Aurelius sestertius with a Virtus reverse a while back - I was sort...
An interesting post - I hope they find something. A while back I posted an article about damaged gold from Decius:...
I first joined Coin Talk a couple years ago because of a fantasy. After buying what I thought was an interesting Roman Provincial (and I knew...
I got a new Gallienus this month - a duplicate for me, but it is the only one in my collection with clear evidence of silvering - my other coins...
Not sure - I think a fold in the drapery is plausible. But your example is odd - the lines are parallel all the way to the ground, not the...
Since collecting his coins, I've come to admire Gallienus - for some of the reasons already posted. He ruled during a horrible time and he lasted...
I just got a couple of new-to-me Liberalitas types, so I thought I'd keep RC's nice thread going here. Antoninus Pius denarius - somewhat unusual...
Thank you, RC. As always, I appreciate the help.
Whoa! I apparently noticed the stephane on mine when originally trying to figure it out, but I think I botched the attribution. According to...
Nice ones RC. I have a couple - they ain't pretty, but they are veiled. [ATTACH] Faustina I Æ Sestertius (c. 141-146 A.D.) Rome Mint DIVA...
I really, really like countermarks, and I really like that one - As for countermarks being raised, that lion in profile is unusual. It is almost...
Interesting thread. Because my collection isn't very large, I keep mine in those plastic "Coin Albums" arranged by type - here are photos of my...
I recently got a Gordian III antoninianus - a common one - in an ICG slab on eBay for around $13. I can't figure out why anybody would bother....
