Here's a couple more interesting Probus types: 1. Probus with CONS IIII in obverse legend (SALVS AVG reverse) 2. Probus with PROBVS PIVS in...
Many thanks to all. Definitely a Boeotian type overstruck on a coin of Antigonos Gonatas. I guess it wasn't a goldfish after all.
@TIF : Many thanks for taking a look at it, but if our resident Greek expert couldn't figure it out I guess it's going into the hopeless pile....
I really don't like asking for help but after hours trying to figure this out I'm asking (begging) for some help on this 19mm Greek bronze. I'm a...
I remember going to a coin store around 25 years ago and seeing two little coins in a dish for $1 each. I asked the guy what they were and he said...
I've shown this once before, but what the heck. Valentinian II Ae3: Rx: GLORIA REPVBLICE; Campgate with Christogram above [IMG]
Thanks. I just hate to use the word barbarous for these types. Hard to group the Visigothic issues in with the feeble attempts we see in the...
I have a very similar type to yours. Here's a pic: [ATTACH] On this one you can just make out the center two reverse exergual letters, which...
This coin has been sitting in my safe for quite a few years. I put it away because I just wasn't 100% sure that it is authentic, and not a more...
I just happened to find this odd Licinius I follis earlier today. I'm not sure I want to know what he's holding. [ATTACH]
Nice coins all. Here's a few more. VIRTVS AVGG; Closed door Campgate [ATTACH] ALAMANNIA DEVICTA: [ATTACH] VIRTVS EXERCITI (not the best but...
I'm not sure a day passes when I don't check out new posts on this site, and I know I couldn't say that about any other ancient coin site I had...
Here's another interesting Aureolus type: [ATTACH] Postumus Antoninianus, struck under Aureolus 267/268 AD at Milan mint Rx: VIRTVS EQVITVM;...
I'm certainly no expert but I've seen this reverse for Commodus (which actually fits the bit of obverse legend you can make out) but it was not a...
Before Cointalk there was Moneta on Yahoo. Pretty much defunct now as too often it became a loud shouting match between "experts" in the ancient...
@stevex6 : I suspect for most of the folks here if they had $1000 to spend on ancients they would buy one or two nice pieces. I personally would...
I posted a photo of my desk earlier last year. Here it is today, and by the way, these are all different coins than last year. My wife just walks...
Good point. Forgot about the small abbreviated monogram AR types.
I was just looking through the far too many coins on my desk and I spotted this kind of ragged and non-photogenic, but interesting, 14mm Greek...
Here's an odd one of Termessos Major, it doesn't look like it's of the same coin. [ATTACH]
