I also have this other little Arcadius from Antioch with a real desert patina (I know because I partially cleaned it): [ATTACH] It’s pretty cool...
My setup is basically the same as @Alegandron and @panzerman, but with more coins per page. I use a regular sized leather binder with these PVC...
Guess it isn't so unusual as I was led to believe, then. Thanks for helping, anyway! Still pretty cool to find something under such a hopeless...
That's why I'm asking for opinions. I wish I could photograph it better. There is definitely space, but I don't really see any trace of lettering...
A little while ago I posted this coin in the cleaning advice thread. It was incredibly corroded when given to me by an archaeologist friend,...
I feel your pain. I have a very nice Apollonia Pontika drachm that's been stuck in the first distribution center it went to for 15 days, and...
Glad this thread was revived, it taught me something I didn’t know. Here’s a cool Marcus Aurelius I got the other day with lots of flow lines....

@zumbly, that Decius is luscious! Anyway, I’ve shown all of these before, but I think these are my favorite portraits in my collection. [ATTACH]...
I would not be ashamed of that coin at all, @Macromius. Regardless of what it’s been through, I think it’s a very attractive coin, as are all of...
With a great nose... [ATTACH]

The first one is a Valentinian Securitas. The mint mark is there but not clear enough to make out in the picture. Try getting a better shot, or...
I swapped out my image for Bing’s better lightened version (thanks). I should try again and try to get rid of the edge reflection. I am still...
[ATTACH] Hadrian AE Drachm Obverse: AYT KAI TPAI ADRIA CEB, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right Reverse: Nilus seated left on rocks, holding...
