I don't like it at all. It appears to be a cast of a modern reproduction. Here is another from a fakes databse that seems to match. [IMG]
This one arrived today as part of a batch of LRB I got distracted with. Nothing special but there aren't too many other coins from Arles in the...
It is time for me to inflict another FH on you. This one is quite a small FH at just over 16mm but does show how much detail they were still able...
In my recent LRBs there were a few coins of Licinius I. I thought that these two were worth sharing. Each has pleasing characteristics. The...
I have gone on a rampage and bought a whole load of LRB. I thought I would pullout a few of what I consider as my highlights. Amongst them is this...
Well my Trier has arrived. As you can see these coins come with two varieties of harstyle. Severus Alexander has posted a wonderful example of the...
This isn't easy because I have so many bad coins. This one has to be up there though. Probus Obv:– IMP C PROBVS AVG, Radiate cuirassed bust...
A couple of mine... Crispus - AE3 Obv:– CRISPVS NOB CAES, Laureate, cuirassed bust right Rev:– BEATA TRANQVILLITAS, Altar inscribed VOT/IS/XX,...
I have oscillated between the two myself.
Whilst stating that I am not actively collecting Rome mint issues of Septimius Severus I do seem to be adding Legionary denarii as I find them....
Mine is a lifetime issue but the obverse is quite off centre. I find the style pleasing though. Alexander III The Great, Macedonian Kingdom, 336...
Very nice. I am after a nice Alexandrian example at some point. Such a long list.... My nicest at the moment is:- Obv:– FL HELENA AVGVSTA,...
Following on with the Antioch FH..... Did I really need both of these? The same emperor, the same mint, the same workshop... Reaching:- [IMG]...
I'll chip in with some Probus from Lugdunum. RIC is next to useless for collecting these with Bastien and the various supplements being the...
Croeso Dafydd, Welcome from another Welshman. That are indeed both modern fakes. Regards, Martin
My best example of what I mean also happens to be an eastern Septimius Severus. Septimius Severus denarius Obv:– IMP CAE L SEP SEV PERT AVG COS...
I would say it is incorrect. A blank is struck (first time) and sticks in the obverse die. Due to the speed of manufacture it isn't replaced with...
This is my nicest imperial portrait of his. [IMG]
The horn certainly is attached and I suspect that in the example above it is largely lost due to die clogging. I have many "horned" examples....
Yours is nicer than mine. [IMG]
