Is there a directory of CT members who also sell coins? It would be helpful to have something like this, especially for newbies. It might also...
Or stick with late Roman bronzes under $15. eBay is a good source for these.

Tangent: Both Archimedes and Hierons II are prominent characters in Gillian Bradshaw's very entertaining novel "The Sand-Reckoner." [IMG]
Here's another coin of Probus that I will likely never own: Probus_Adventus Only $2,950!
I'm surprised these beautiful coins did not arrive with attributions. Were they part of a bulk lot?
My guess is from hoard data. If one hoard has only coins from one emission, another hoard has coins from that plus a second emission, and so on,...
For someone who reigned for only 6 years, Probus has an amazing variety of coins. There are all sorts of interesting variations, along with two...
My Leo: [IMG] AE4 Thessalonica mint? Obv: D N LE-ON VG? Rev: Monogram #1, within wreath. THS in exergue? RIC 681? 11mm, 1.3g And my Leo with an...

To illustrate what Romancollector--not often we get posts by Romancollector and Roman Collector one after the other--wrote, I went to Wildwinds...
The fact that the visor on the helmet extends up to the top of the crest led me to suspect it was an imitation. So I did some poking around online...
Does the image come up now? Lysimachos ruled in Thrace, near the Danubian region, so that's why I assume the ruler. I didn't know there was a...
Thank you, TIF. I checked Sigeion in ACSearch and didn't find a match, but then I checked Wildwinds and found this: [IMG] Troas, Sigeion, AE9, ca....
I try to post examples that haven't already been posted in the current thread, although sometimes on longer threads I might miss something and...
Finally, I've got this tiny little fellow--9 mm, ~0.85g.--that I haven't had much luck with so far (although it's been only 3 days). I've trying...
