Here's what one of the most influential ancient coin youtube channels said about the original ancients release: [MEDIA] I've been collecting...
I've often wondered the same thing (the same goes for Constantine IV's larger coins), but I guess it will remain a mystery.
No one on three forums thought it was a Scantilla. Mauseus on Forum had a good, not-messed-with budget example (better than mine) of a Scantilla....
It's been 15 years since I purchased one. My only other example is a slick, of unknown legionary attribution. [ATTACH] MARCUS ANTONIUS (Marc...
It's rare enough to come across a full flan example, yet alone with toning of this type. It's also from a western mint, which gives it plus...
It's a choice example of a very iconic type. I'm a bit envious! Congrats!
It is indeed a wonderful siliqua; full flan, fantastic toning, and great condition. I have a few attractively toned siliquae, but this one takes...
I've wrote up a rough draft of the email, but it's been a busy week, I didn't feel like dealing with anything stressful, and I haven't gotten...
Pretty cool! I only have a small shipwreck cob.
Oops, by 20% I meant 20 karats. That's a cool tetarteron.
It's been 30 years since I last picked up an Isaac II, the previous one being an inexpensive one from Allen Berman's Cheap Ancients lists (I miss...
I've been pretty good about avoiding coins with BD, ever since the Great BD Outbreak of 2000. None of my coins from him have gone sour. I...
I've procrastinated writing the email. Might as well get it over with. I looked at the coin closely this morning, and I can't make heads nor...
This is fairly handy....
Yes, that's the same conclusion I came to. I am admittedly inexperienced with Domna coins, but I noticed that the more bona fide Scantillas had...
I took a look at the obverse to see if I could make anything out of the legends and was not able to. Some Domna (of the Juno type) have...
I recently purchased an inexpensive (very inexpensive as Scantillas would go) worn sestertius. However, after some counter-opinions, I think it...
I still recommend the history podcasts. My parents have been going through the Totalus Rankium podcasts. That might lead to more of a focused...
Caesar coins just go for crazy money, nowadays. My elephant is holed, but otherwise not horrible, acquired during the 1990's. You also have...
That's a really handsome set, and compiled in record time! Titus was the one to finally complete my set. It deserves an applause emoji!
