Very interesting, as always. Keep 'em coming, Jochen.
Interesting write-up and nice examples. I have a cruddy one I am not entirely convinced is genuine - darkish and lightweight. I'm not sure if...
Thanks Zumbly! I appreciate the help.
Just got a new one in the mail to add to my small ancient countermark collection. Usually I have more trouble attributing the countermark, but...
Great write-up and attractive examples. This post sent me back to my own modest collection, but nope, no Venus Genetrix, sorry to say.
I'm no expert, but they both look good to me. Nice ones!
Thanks for that info, Doug - I never thought Wikipedia would go into such detail on something like this. Once again, I've underestimated the...
I noticed in some of the descriptions of the Philip, Capricorn was marked with a (?) as if this were still in doubt. Doug's nice, clear example...

Another informative and interesting write-up. Thank you!

Very interesting chain-of-discovery account, Doug. I suspect your "trade" box is better than my actual collection... :) I often pick up things...
That is a terrific overstrike, Ryro. I really like it - good and sloppy! I have a couple of Heraclius overstrikes, one over a Phocas and one...
Even beyond its rarity, that is a great portrait. Nice find.
That is a very nice example, Doug. As for the obverse/reverse, heck if I know. Maybe Zenobia wanted to keep it kind of ambiguous so as not to...
I think those are some very nice looking Tets. I'd be happy to own them. While we're at it, I thought I'd share another ugly one I have that I...
Wow. I really like sestertii from this era and these are just splendid. In order to provide comic relief for the Perfect 10 ideal, here are my...
Nice coins. Welcome to ancients!
Thank you all for your imput. I got this specimen the way I got a lot of my coins - because it was cheap, and poorly photographed on eBay. Coins...
