Very nice, Andrew! - is that a 50/4 anchor? The reason I ask is that I now have a couple of anchor semis and have decided that the one I got...
Very nice, Andrew! I got a couple of your coins at the weekend that went in the other direction - from the last Roma auction - anchor semis,...
Here are two dolphins: Hemiobol - Thrace, Thasos Obv. Head of satyr right, with full head of hair Rev. ΘΑΣΙ - Two dolphins swimming in opposite...
By the first one, I meant the first one you had, the PUDICITIA, I wasn't clear! Aidan.
I would keep both, as they're different. If you're determined to keep just one, I prefer the first one. ATB, Aidan.
I think these are gladiators rather than soldiers fighting. Denarius of T. Didius Roma (in monogram) - Head of Roma right, * below - Two soldiers...

Well, it decides which sides faces up in the tray :D
Thanks - yes, he's fairly impaled! There's an Augustus type of the moneyer Durmius (i8 BC, I think) with the same boar, minus the hound. This...
You've got Lanz on two lists :D
Here are a couple of bronzes with sow symbols - as & quadrans (Cr 121/3 & /6 of ca. 206-195 BC): [IMG] [IMG] I almost felt mean eating this...
I'm not a dealer, but I've read estimates of 30,000+ Athenian tetradrachms. Prices for all but the very best coins have fallen considerably as a...
I post this too often, but there's an excuse here as it's from the Mesagne Hoard, found in around 1980. It doesn't seem to be in the 1984 paper...
