I was speaking with an expert in Roman Republican coinage a handful of weeks ago and he mentioned that he's seen coins which are fourrees that he...
I tend to not post prices here just to keep it about the coins but I bought it from CNG and their prices are published on their website if you...
Thanks, and your aureus/denarius make a great pair!
I quite like this fourree. Do you know if it is an exact die match for genuine dies? It looks like a particularly good style compared to most...
It would be a pre-pre-pre order at this point, but I'll put your name on the list :)
It is an interesting type, much more so than the mundane "tribute penny" reverse, but definitely over-reaching from a price perspective. I'm happy...
I've owned this coin for a while but it took me quite some time to prepare the write-up as there is such a vast amount of information available on...
Great suggestions - I just use a rather basic point-and-shoot camera (Canon G15) and have had reasonably good success with its lens for most of my...
Here's one which I owned: a nice crest, missing 'E' on the reverse, but nice toning and metal. However, I sold it and will eventually replace it...

While large coins like dekadrachms are unarguably impressive, I find extremely small coins to be equally intriguing, showing off the talent of the...
Nothing to contribute here - I sold my example with a slightly off-center reverse and haven't found one I've really liked in the meantime. Good...
Thanks! That's a great example of Octavian's military trophy as well - I've been looking for one myself but while several examples have come to...
That has still yet to be definitively determined :D
Acquired in Sept 2013 so not eligible :)
Thanks! :)
I agree - anepigraphic obverses are extremely appealing to me, offering an aesthetic simplicity. One of the first aurei I encountered was on the...
Thanks! I may end up doing just that. I'm building a website at the moment which affords some additional flexibility when adding coins, but I...
This year has been my most successful so far, adding 18 coins since January. That's a pace which I don't expect to sustain, but it's certainly...
