Thinking in terms of probabilities is not the same as assessment of significance. @gsimonel was in fact exactly doing this: “What we could do...
Thanks all! Added a few to my wish list :) I agree - blown up to massive proportoins, these tiny coins loose a bit of their appeal.
Thanks David, for your input. I notice a relative large weigh difference between your (5.3g) and mine (9.51g) specimen. Is such a difference...
I think this is excellent coping. Please don't be embarrassed, fakes happen to all of us (except maybe for @Barry Murphy, but all experts were...
This cointype has been on my wish list for quite a while, but I didn't actively pursue it. As most coins on my wish list, I either encounter them,...
I've got three Byzantine AE's, that are just screaming for an identification (they've been in my drawer for quite a while): [ATTACH] 29 mm, 9.51g...
This coin was gifted to me by my friend and numismatic mentor @AnYangMan. It's a challenge to photograph, as the patina is evenly grey, and the...
Once you recognize the Kugelwange type, it's easier to see the face: Here is a silver unit, of somewhat less crude design than yours. The [IMG]...
@hotwheelsearl: don't be too hard for yourself! As you stated: you sold most with a slight profit, so hopefully, in the end, you still had roughly...
... and that's a shame ;) Wonderful sceatta's, @Severus Alexander. Those 'true' Anglo-Saxons are still on my wish list. I'm currently eyeballing...
Well... that’s a coincidence! [IMG]CELTS, Senones or Tricasses. Denomination: AE Potin unit, minted: Celtic Gaul; c.100 BC Obv: Head with “wild”...
Agree, definitely looks like a celtic potin. I don't recognize yours, though. Here is one of mine for comparison: [ATTACH]CELTS, Senones or...
... always thought it would probably be "Pontifex" or something else :angelic: Learned something today
yeah, that happened to me :) Also, same for Celtic coinage. However, the series D and E are affordable, with cheap and rough specimens starting at...
... and still, far from modern. The first one is my 10th sceatta (and to celebrate that, the 11th is coming my way already :)) [ATTACH]...
A rather poor photo - one of my first ancients, a trishekel from Utica, Zeugitana [ATTACH] ZEUGITANA, Anonymous. Denomination: AE Trishekel ,...
My one and only mt. Argaeus: [ATTACH] ROMAN PROVINCIAL, Hadrianus. Denomination: AR Didrachm, minted: Caesarea, Cappadocia; 128-138 AD Obv:...
I normally don't reply on the fake/genuine topics. However, this coin looks pressed to me. There is a clear rim, both on the obv. and rev., and...
This is very interesting. I've been experimenting with axial lighting, though not with the professional material that @Denis Richard uses. As I'm...
Yes, it’s rather easy: one of the corners has a small indentation, allowing it to be opened with your fingernail. I use the precut version - the...
