I do enjoy denarii of the very late Republic.
Oh, and I love Double Sestertii of Postumus. I've always wanted a Sestertius, but I've never found one at the right moment.
I have my share of attractive coins, but I've always had a weakness for rarities/expensive types in decrepit shape (one can always find a nicer...
My portrait Caesar is too shameful to post. I have the 'Brutus' Servius Rufus denarius, and have for a couple of decades. When my photography...
The Manuel Hyperpyron is the one I've always wanted. However, an affordable example of this one came along. And I thought the price of gold was...
[ATTACH] John II, Comnenus. AD 1118-1143.. AV hyperpyron (30 mm, 4.39 gm). Thessalonica. Christ seated facing on throne with back. Rev: Facing...
I guess I'm missing Valentinian III and Zeno as well. They'd fit the $200 or under threshold I have set for 'common.' However, I just can't get...
Nice addition!
The thread reminded me of an interesting small Setertius I have; a reduced Sestertius of Gallienus. [ATTACH] 81642. Orichalcum sestertius, RIC...
There were 100 coins originally in the bag. A certain dealer would have deals on cheap (c. $1.50) bulk coins during the late 90s; As-sized...
Valentinian II could very well be in my decrepit uncleaned AE3's, but since they came out like messy floor sweepings, that doesn't really count....
I'd love to collect Bactrian Tetradrachms. About the only affordable one I've come across of the Attic standard was this: [ATTACH] The porosity...
My first two coins were a junk box Macedonian shield AE and a mystery 1st century Roman As (Nero?).
Cool. Maybe I should look at my bag of Latin/Bulgarian trachae. :wideyed:
As a lover of larger coins, my hat's off to you. That's pretty large.
Surprisingly I've never had a Claudius II until a present of a few years ago. Ditto, Quintillus. Coins of 268-70 never really appealed to me, and...
Thank you, I'll have to save the description in Word so I won't forget it. I still have to master coin photography. I have Photoshop CS5 and...
Many of my coins are unphotographed, so I have to recycle some previously posted ones, with recycled dealer descriptions and pics. [ATTACH]...
