The KLF, just because I listened to some of their stuff tonight - they even got Tammy Wynette to sing with them - "Justified And Ancient":...
"It's just a flesh wound" :D [IMG] [IMG] ATB, Aidan.
Here's a crystallised/damaged RR denarius of Julius Caesar, with Aeneas holding the palladium (and carrying Anchises too). Cr. 458/1, ca. 47-46...
I'm glad your coin will be on its way soon! To balance the Bertolami tale a bit, I got the Banti Roman Republican (red books) set in that June...
Looks like I took this photo' through mud - it's a Brutus denarius, ex. the late T.V. Buttrey collection. The reverse was soldered onto something...
Here's one that needs a better pic - a denarius of L. Cassius Caecianus of 102 BC, Cr. 321/1. [IMG] I mostly bought it as it's from a documented...
It seems a useful tool. Interesting that the repaired Diocletian aureus seems not to have sold (at least the May 2016 auction listing included...
Ah - I got a Republican denarius from the Quidenham Hoard too - it was interesting how old many of the coins in that hoard were. ATB, Aidan.

I posted this already in the thread about favourite coins and tunes, but I like it so much, I'll post it again. @panzerman's lovely and rare...
This is also an early Trajan denarius with a similar portrait to the OP's coin - BMC 46, RSC 595c (not in RIC): [IMG] It could do with a new...
There's certainly a period with very little silver, but not as long as 211 to 148 BC - as Alegandron illustrates, there are many issues of denarii...
The denarius was retariffed from 10 to 16 asses in around 140BC. This is the time the XVI inscription appears. The XVI didn't last long, a...
Well, in honour of the 50th anniversary of the first Moon landing, here's Whipping Boy and a live version of "That Was Then, This Is Now". The...
It's usually several months between my visits to the SDB - I always mean to go more often, but where the coins are stored is difficult for me to...
Congrats on your wins, OP, and hope there will be many more. My first CNG win - Thebes stater from E-228 (lot 58), BCD Boiotia 537, 24th Feb....
I think I've got 10 of Cr. 340/1 - only another couple of hundred to go. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] The latest arrival: [IMG] [IMG] The later Cr....
This is only slightly different - it's the commoner variety without the prow on the reverse - Norbana 2, Cr. 357/1b. Moneyer: C. Norbanus Coin:...
