Those are nice additions. I especially like the Philip tetradrachm.
That's pretty cool! The Bavarian collector would have loved the coin forums.
Here's another one from the recent bulk lot, which I acquired as a stress-reliever, to go through an attribute them, just for the fun of it. I...
I've never been a heavy denarius buyer, but I can give an example of Domitian Minerva denarii (I like those, and I look.) A decrepit/uncleaned...
I'd say the decrepit or low-end ones haven't changed that much. One can still find decrepit Severus or Severus Alexander denarii for $20 (takes a...
Ok. I was a bit fooled. Usually the ones of Tiberius II and the early Maurices are of big, klunky style. This...
This was a part of a low-grade lot of Byzantines, mostly large coins. At under $3 a coin, it was a pretty good deal. Here's one of the more...
Acquiring a gold coin is always a milestone. 'Coingrats'! It is certainly better than any of my few examples.
Here's some random examples of my uncleaned Khrusru drachms: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
For those who don't know, Khrusru II took advantage of Phocas usurping the ROman/Byzantine throne, and he advanced the Persian borders to almost...
I somehow missed this thread. Welcome to the wonderful world of Sasanian numismatics. NGC certainly did not do a good job of centering the coin...
All three of Victor's coins are delightful. I love coins of Vaballathus, especially the Alexandrian issues. I forget the episode now, but one of...
I haven't sold a coin since the 90's, so if it's a sale from me, it's FAKE. The Romans had a much better justice system than we do. They had...
It certainly is a splendid example of the larger series.
Cool! I woke up and decided that just narrowing down the suggestion to a Philip Antoninianus would be the best course. The dealer has 100+ of those.
It took me about a minute and a half to attribute all the large coins. There's a couple of Justin II's, a decrepit Maurice Antioch, Anastasius, a...
What do you think of my idea? It preserves some interest of receiving a mystery coin, but takes most of the downsides out of it. A work friend...
98% of these are a difficulty 1/10. The only ones which might be a challenge are the Constans II's, mainly because I've never been interested in...
I haven't done this in years, but I purchased a small lot of inexpensive, low-grade Byzantine coins. This was the nicest of the unsold lots, in...
Pretty neat! That's quite an array.
Separate names with a comma.
