So interesting about the name Theodosia. 700 years later, a Roman emperor with the same name. Nice find.
Congratulations on a great batch of coins. Like you, I too focused on Roman coins until just recently, but after winning a few lots of Greek...
Actually, I believe this can vary from state to state. In some states mining companies can mine under your property without even informing you.
Perhaps, but we don't have a lot of local museums displaying fossils or native American artifacts. It might make sense to mandate that the...
Well, yeah, but if you put Apollo in as a search term, wouldn't you expect the results to describe it as Apollo? Maybe try leaving out Apollo and...
It belongs to the property owner. If it is found on government land, it belongs to whatever government body owns the land.
The coin looks like it is already down to bare metal (mostly). I doubt that any additional cleaning will improve it.
VF is from a system used to describe modern coins. It describes only the amount of wear. So yes, technically that coin would grade VF if you...
I am in a similar situation. I have a split-body COOLPIX S4500 of about the same age. I love the split body feature, but the camera is beginning...
I haven't had much with #3, so I don't feel so dumb for not being able to ID it. This one, however, is more likely to make me feel sorta "well,...
Looks like I might not get an ID out of this, but the Sideshow Bob response made it worth the effort. Thanks, Kentucky! I agree with...
Any idea who this person is? [ATTACH]
I'm not convinced this is the case. I sell on eBay, and I've had a couple of coins get lost in the mail over the years. When a buyer complains...
I apologize if my response sounded like a rebuke. That was not my intention. I need to remember that what you write often looks much harsher...
I don't think there is anything cynical about it. Constantine was a product of his times, and that was the norm. Indeed, the whole point of...
Here's one of my favorite LRBs from the same era: [IMG] Theodosius I ("the Great") Augustus, A,D, 379-395 (Bronze) AE II Constantinople mint, A.D....
The reverse is VIRTVS EXERCITI: [IMG] (Photo from Wildwinds.) But I agree with you that it's probably a barbarous, Vandalic-era imitation.
Seems to me they might have a better chance of tracking down the stolen loot if they let him out of jail and kept a good eye on him.
Here are a couple more interesting PLN/star types from an earlier emission: [ATTACH] London mint, A.D. 310-312 RIC 195 Obv: CONSTANTINVS P F AVG...
Yes, of course, restricting the list to coins with lifetime portraits is going to skew it toward western Europe, at least for the first 1,200...
Separate names with a comma.
