Two coins from my collection of bronze coins of Constantine I ("the Great"): 1) Hercules, in the process . . . [ATTACH] Ticinum mint, A.D. 307-308...
Let us not forget the two unfortunate cousins, both murdered shortly after the death of Constantine I to keep them from making any claims upon the...
I'm pretty sure I paid less than $400 for this solidus of Theodosius II. [IMG] Constantinople mint, A.D. 430-440 Obv: D N THEODO-SIVS P F AVG...
If you check out the Byzantine section of any CNG e-auction you will see many examples of solidi in very nice condition that usually end up...
I hope you will let us know how this eventually works out.
Yes. And you will probably need to buy an entire gallon of distilled water (DW), so if you put the coin in about 8 oz. of DW and then drain and...
Curtisimo, feel free to PM me if you've never treated a coin for bronze disease before. It can take a while, but the process is actually quite simple.

Here's mine. I found it in a lot of uncleaned coins about 15 years ago. It was covered in about 1/4" of gunk, and I ended up resorting to...
Upper left is a votive of Constantius II. The reverse image is upside down. It says VOT/XX/MVLT/XXX. Bottom right looks like a SPES REPVBLICAE,...
The joke is that NONE of the Plingnor-Plant coins have the pojuka birds. Any coins with pojuka birds are forgeries.
A crusty! I haven't seen one in years. This is a candidate for electrolysis. There may be a decent, identifiable coin--albeit, probably with...
In that case you might want to start with--in addition to VCoins--C.N.G. They have coins for sale at fixed prices in their online shop as well as...
