Jochen - I am very flattered you have included my coin as a part of the FORVM Nikopolis Addendum! Thank you so much for including me. I will...
Terrific write-up, Gary. A while back I got a Roman Provincial that references Tiberius & Livia's aid to Sardes after the earthquake of 17 A.D....
Lovely coin, David. The way the columns on the temple sort of "fade out" behind the standing figures is interesting - an effort to keep the...
That is an exceptionally interesting write-up, Jochen. I really enjoyed reading this. Sort of along the same lines, I have a Nikopolis ad...
The OP looked legit to me, but that Bulgaria return address is a bit scary. I just went through the forgery network and didn't see this type for...
Very interesting and well-written write-up.
I really like hearing about finds like this one. Good score, Aleph. Doug makes a compelling case for why this sort of thing happens. While...

Thank you for the link, Mithril. And welcome to CoinTalk - it is a great place to hang out. :) Last week I found several examples of C26 that...
A very illuminating and alarming post - I had no idea there were so many varieties on that MER RIC website (thanks Roman Collector). This came in...
Wow. Those are indeed lovely.
Lovely portraits in this post. Faustina II portraits are interesting to me because of the range of styles - her earlier issues show her as a...
Yeah, I didn't think so. The three spikes are probably nothing. As I understand it: sestertius with stephane (right) and without (left): [ATTACH]
This was an interesting post. I dug through my Faustina II's and found what I think is BMC 1087, based on the spacing of the reverse legend....
