I am trying to establish whether the sigle CONOB was ever used on Milan Tremisses of Honorius or not. On acsearch I could only find tremisses with...
You (seth77 und Victor Clark) have certainly convinced me that PF stands for PIUS FELIX. Amazing to find such an error in a "Festschrift"...
Interesting, apparently there are different theories as to the meaning of PP and PF. In the “Festschrift für Wolfgang Hahn zum 70. Geburtstag”,...
That is true, the solidi and tremisses of Gundobad and the tremisses of Sigismund in the name of Anastasius show PR. The solidi of Sigismund in...
I think I saw the coin (on Ebay?) and also thought that the story about Ostrogothic markings was fantasy. Very attractive coin!
There is one sort of sellers who offer common coins in low grade at outrageous prices. I guess they are looking for inexperienced collectors with...
I should have been a bit more transparent regarding the coins that I am researching. I'm looking at so called Half-Siliquae of Sirmium, which were...

Does anybody know, when the legend DN .... PF AVG was changed to DN ... PP AVG? The change was made in Constantinople, while Italian mints...

According to my calculations, there is a 95% chance that the original number of dies lies between 54 and 316. This is a large confidence...
According to my calculations the total number of dies is 98. Cover ratio = 1- 12/21 Total dies = 36/cover ratio * (1+12/(2*36) = 98 According to...
Thanks a lot for all the information. I'm afraid, that my tiny sample does not permit any quantification of the number of dies involved.
They will probably be grateful for corrections. I noticed a number of errors in the Ostrogothic section of the British Museum Collection. I...
The coin looks official to me. I suppose a partially blocked die, plus the rough patina/encrustations could have been responsible for the V...
I just bought this DIVO CARO, which came with the qualifier: "MONNAIE DE PLUS EN PLUS DIFFICILE à TROUVER", i.e. coin that is more and more...
Yes, I do, many thanks
Cool, many thanks for that .... I can see tha the author is mentioning the Esty-method :-)
I don't need luck, I need Warren (Valentinian) :-)
