Thanks all for the comments. I rather enjoy doing this, and sharing it is part of the fun, given these reactions. Sure, here it is. I don't have...
I have posted this coin various times on CT before, however, I never told the story behind it (mainly because it was auctioned by CNG). Anyway,...
That's a real nice and sharp denarius! Great finds.
Well of course you had to! [IMG] My largest nose on one of my smallest coins. [ATTACH] AE drachm, Danubian Kelts, "Kugelwange" type. 200-100...
Some of you probably know I've been working on different techniques to restore ancient coins with horn silver. I'm working on my PhD as well, and...
I would advice against cleaning in this case. The coins have been cleaned before (and it looks like a wax has been applied?), and are nicely...
I think I found 'm! Note sure whether it's allowed to post prt screens of Asearch (if not, I'll remove it), but here it is: [ATTACH]
Hi @Xodus, while I do not have the ID, it usually helps to a) combine the images, (which can very easily be done with...
My only Macrinus, with a short beard (posted on CT before). I've read somewhere - not sure whether it's true or not - that Macrinus tried to copy...

Thanks @AnYangMan for your comprehensive and complete identification! Are there any theories or interpretations on what actually is depicted on...
Interesting coins above. Celtic coins are way too cool and abstract to exclude them from any collection of ancient coins (in my opinion). My...
@AnYangMan and @Orielensis thanks both for the compliments. I did not know about the raised edge on the Saxon pennies, and come to think of it: my...
I've recently bought these two Durotriges silver staters. I really liked the bold strike, though the last one is prettier than the first one in my...
So I have been looking for a Carolingian coin for a while and finally with this example, I believed to have a rather nice one. Until it turned out...
I fell in love with this sceatta the moment I saw it. However, I have little to no knowledge on sceattas, but would really like to know the type...
I took the liberty to remove your background (using www.remove.bg - a super easy tool [note: I have no conflict of interest]). This allows to...
