Oh, now I understand what you are talking about. I was looking at the threads at the left.
Somebody needs to do a study of T-F vs. S-A. (Somebody smarter than me, that is.) These field letters occurred in A.D. 307-309, too. S-A was...
That is hilarious! It might also explain how I survived college.
Or maybe it's a worn Sol wearing striped socks? Beautiful coin. Congratulations.
Has anyone written to the auction houses in question and asked them what their reasons were for pulling their photos? I've never won anything from...
Then you ARE insane. Here's what I would do: buy a few coins early on and try shipping them to a US address. Make sure you include a valid return...
Stylistically, it looks fine to me. I assume that there is no seam along the edge of the coin. If there is . . . Ding! Ding! Ding! Ah-ROOOO-gah!
My take: I doubt that you could find a single VRBS ROMA coin in as good of condition as yours for $.50-$1.00. That's a bit of an exaggeration. You...

I have two vanity web sites, but they might be of interest to some collectors. 1) Some bronze coins of Constantine the Great:...
Silvered ants are particularly difficult to clean. A coin like yours would probably intimidate me, and like Doug, I probably would have just left...
Not sure if anyone here read my thread about Surprising VAuction Win, but I accidentally blew my entire coin budget for the NYINC, so it looks...
I can't tell the emperor, but I'd guess that it's a fourree core or limes denarius. Severan period seems about right to me, too.
It's RIC 163b. "Virtus advancing nude" is an error in RIC. See here: http://www.notinric.lechstepniewski.info/6ant163b_d.html and here (p.642):...
You don't need calipers. All you need is a metric ruler. Lay the coin on top and determine its span.
I picked no.1, but I wonder how much impact our monitors have on our decisions.
