If you put a squirt gun up against my head and told me to guess, I'd say Constantinople, probably RIC 138. There's something weird in the left...
It's still too difficult to make out the mint mark. In general, it helps to take the coin out of the holder before photographing it. Your coin has...
What is the AMCC auction? I'm not familiar with those initials.
I just recently sold this, but I still have the photo: Tetricus II as his predecessor, Jar Jar Binks. [ATTACH]
I tried soaking the coin in lemon juice, but that didn't have much impact, so I got a brass rod that I filed into a point and looked at the coin...
Shame about the green patina flaking off this provincial coin--lost a lot of detail: [IMG] Provincial Bronze (AE26) Moesia Inferior, Nikopolis ad...
Good point. Maximinus II ("Daia"): [IMG] Bronze Nummus Antioch mint, A.D. 312 Obv: IMP C GAL VAL MAXIMINVS P F AVG Rev: GENIO AVGVSTI - Genius,...

I've had that happen before, too. But when the scheduled delivery date came and went without a trace, that's when I realized that it's probably...
I just had a package of 4 coins, worth around $130, go missing. It was paid for via PayPal, and I used eBay's domestic shipping service to print...
John Anthony started a thread about these coins last week in which he argues, as you do, that the reverse depicts a peribolos (a grove of trees)...
It's amazing what people will believe or not believe when they have a financial stake in the outcome. Perhaps the desire of the auction house to...
