Awesome coin! These archer reverse types are very interesting because they keep showing up on different issues for centuries; the earliest are...
Awesome coins! I don't have any medieval coins, but I'd like to add some Saxon pieces some day.
I have been fascinated by Vejovis ever since I first saw these coins. Such a mysterious and intriguing figure. My take is that he was thoroughly...
Really cool to see Alexander on a Roman coin. The reverse imagery reminds me of this Indo-Greek Antimachus II drachm which I got in the last FSR...
I have lately been studying the book Water in the Cultic Worship of Isis and Sarapis, by Robert Wild. It is not particularly thrilling reading,...
While I agree that coins (and artifacts in general) often end up neglected and forgotten in museum basements, I have to defend its destructive...
I have the same Augustus of Prima Porta statue as you got, @Sallent! I like it a lot. I also got a bust based on the Apollo Belvedere at a thrift...
Congrats to all the winners, and thanks to @Curtisimo for putting together this entertaining contest!
@Terence Cheesman, thanks for the extra info on the JB provenance. Know that the Illyrian drachm I purchased from the JB collection will be...

Silly me, forgetting to include weight and measurement! It is: 20mm, 3.69g. I'll certainly buy that the Pisidia coin could be it. Right size and...
I’ll buy the Achelois connection. This is much later of course, but the cornucopia remains part of the river god iconography, as in this Hadrian...
Any guesses on what this type is? It is distinct enough that I feel like I should’ve found it, but no such luck. Unless it’s a very crude horse, I...
Asking me to choose my most 'precious' coin is like asking me to choose a favorite anything - I just can't do it, because I love them all for...
Towards the end I threw in a bid on an ex @dougsmit Kashmir coin because it looked interesting and wasn't too expensive, but got blown out of the...
Nearly let this one slip by due to being preoccupied with work matters! I've tried to keep my guesses on these consistent, so although this one...
