For the coin that kicked off this thread, I finally figured out some provenance (that may have been obvious to some as it seems a lot of these...
Nice coin! I like these too... and love Alexandrian coins. They did things a bit differently even after being folded into minting imperial coinage...
Oooh what’s the Kermit green coin? I like that one! And the rest too but that green one!
Great coins as always all! Not much new here. I recently did get this Valerian. It's one of those coins that seems easy to attribute but then...
Gordian III coins are many times cleaned to a sparkly silver finish. I like this one because it's pretty close to as found. [ATTACH] I bought this...
@Claudius_Gothicus , I have one very similar! [ATTACH]

Great coins! I especially like the Maximinus! Here’s my coin bought just for the numbers. Oops... posted, forgot to add the photo, now can’t...
Love the zoo coins! They’re so much fun as they’re a theme both easy to start but a never ending challenge to find one in just a little better...
That’s a cool coin! I love these Claudius coins as well. Here’s one a bit more common. I just wish it had SPQR on the reverse. This one was a...
BTW... as I try to attribute this coin using Milne, it's not easy. The obverse legend seems pretty continuous but is sorta broken by the laurel...
