Common sense tells me that provenance should in essence play no role in my enjoyment (and possibly the value) of a coin. Substance (i,e the coin...
Here is a sestertius and an as showing Sabina with the 'high' hair style. Would love to add a denarius with this particular hairstyle, but they...
Nice Sabina, Roman Collector:) It has a notorious 'robust' portrait, matronly as you call it. This is only the second example I have seen of this...
Nice to see you post, acanthite:). It has been a while. Beautiful selection 8 reales you have there. You have a good eye. I have not added...
One look was enough to condemn it, unfortunately. The planchet in particular is uncharacteristically 'flat' and the legends too wide. (Not that I...
Wow, great coin and congratulation are in order!:) (I know whom to go for advice next time I contemplate adding a new Vespasian to my collection).
Sorry Alengandron, I tried but could not find a Finnish or Welsh forum for ancients. But I did find these forums in Portuguese. Would this...

Another groat of Henry VI, this one minted at London. Happy if anybody corrects/improves the attribution:) [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Mat's postings of his english medieval coins finally got me around to imaging the few that I have. Here they are - and I am hoping I got the...

Like chrsmat71 and Andres2, any time I try to share my enthusiasm for any coin with my family seems to only elicit blank stares, and (maybe), a...
Like you, I am fairly fluent in Spanish as my father worked in Latin America for many years, and I can almost say I grew up there. Since returning...
Nice english pennies, Mat! We share similar tastes apparently: ancients and mediaeval.
Thank you, Zumbly. I am sure you will find yours - it took me 27 years of collecting ancients to get one:).
Alegandron has also recently posted his beautiful Vindex denarius. Link here: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/vindex-civil-war-issue.296815/
Yes it is. That was the first thing that struck me when I was shooting my own pictures this morning.
Much relieved my civil war denarius has finally arrived. Better late than never as they say, and I must say I am throughly pleased. I had been...
Thank you, Christian, yes that is exactly the Forum I was referring to in Austria. It sure seems to be quite active. Thanks also, Cucumber for...
