I don’t know, but it’d likely be much easier to tell in hand. Are the letters bleeding together (A and V) and into the edge on the right hand side...
Unless you're confident that there is bronze disease present, I wouldn't touch it. It is likely to cause more harm than good.
A very cool coin. I love these. It might be worth seeking out a matching Honorius to go with it. It reminds me of the facing portraiture that...
Some great coins out there. I think I’ll decide this one’s fate once I have it in hand. I think I got it at a more than fair price, but it is...
Thanks for looking at it. Glad I wasn't too far off. This is my first Republican denarius, so I wanted a second opinion. Now, to decide what to do...
This is a coin I purchased a few days, identified as Crawford 44/5, which I don't have in hand yet. Upon further research I'm not sure if it was...
It's not a coin, but I finally got a scale for Christmas. I've been happily weighing coins since... no huge surprises so far. Of course, I'm...

Merry Christmas. May the new year bring many new acquisitions.
I love to see these. Such cool historical artifacts, and some very nice ones here. I have a couple myself. Neither were identified as possible...

Just got this from Nomos, and I couldn't be happier! I've been dying to get it in hand. This is my first auction win, and first coin of this type,...
Like you, I paid on the 7th and still have no shipment notice. This is my first auction so I’m not sure what is normal.
Rather than trying to figure it all out at once, try buying a few different kinds of things. Don't worry that much about grade, but do try getting...
So the general consensus seems to be that you don’t have to do anything, but you can. And if worst comes to worst, there’s still hope. So that’s...
@Trebellianus That's still a nice coin, and I think your photography is fine. My phone is the only camera I have access to, so I do the best I...
Congrats to the winners. I've been dying to see what the mystery coins were.
Here's one of those larger AE purchases that I mentioned earlier, which just arrived today... [ATTACH] Nero AE As Obv: NERO CLAVD CAESAR AVG GER...
