This one WAS in my collection...but hard times caused me to part with it a few years back. Alexander the Great, silver tetradrachm, Phaselis...
Doug, I am trying to do some die analysis on this series and have been busy documenting all that I have been able to find. I want to try and...
It isn't fake. The dealer simply didn't recognise it as a member of this odd sub-series.
I have seen much discussion on this over the years. Most seem to believe that the globe is a representation of the cosmos. Whether the cosmos was...
Another FEL TEMP that landed on my mat today. It appears to be from an unlisted officina. It is quite nice with a, even dark jade green patina....
One of a couple of FEL TEMPS that arrived today. A common enough coin but another one to add to my hoard. The obverse has a few hard green...
Amongst the eastern issues of Septimius Severus are an odd little sub-series that don't follow the full late Emesa obverse legend of "IMP CAE L...

I will pick out three of my Greeks. Aeolis, Myrina, Tetradrachm Obv:– Laureate head of Apollo right, hair braided, ribbons flowing behind....
These ones should not fool too many as their style is far from the original. These are as close to real money as Monopoly money is to currency....
I was just looking through my records and I haven't bought a Gordy since 2013. I bought it because it was an Antioch issue being sold as Rome. [IMG]
The dies are modern. What else is there to say?
Keep an eye open for these then.... Julia Domna denarius Obv:– IVLIA AVGVSTA, Draped bust facing right Rev:– VENVS VICTRIX, Venus standing left,...
