Oooh yes, I've wanted one of these too! There was also one just listed on Vcoins a few days ago that I really wanted but my coin budget is blown...
1. Entry post! 2. Ramses II - he reigned for 67 years, built tons of cool stuff, reportedly had over 100 children. 3. Tie... Green bean casserole...
I bought this knowing it was fake. There are no official silver campgates of this type (after the Argenteus coins of the 290s). It's probably...
(Responding to Doug's post above - forgot to insert the quote and now can't figure out how to add it after posting...:wacky:) If you laid them...
I love this one, especially the reverse. Great coin!
Congratulations! A great accomplishment!
I got this one in a cheap lot with 9 other low grade but authentic coins. I didn’t buy the lot for this coin... and since the whole lot was $10...
As we’ve talked about here before, some types like this Augustus/Agrippa COL NEM Croc are often found halved to make change. There are a few...
Haha that made me laugh. “This is the ancient section, get outta here with those 4th century moderns.” :joyful: I may join you in the Darker side...

The one with the spiky crown is probably Claudius II with a PAX AVG reverse 268-270AD. The two other bronzes are "fallen horseman" coins with the...
Thanks all! I really like it and would like to get into RR bronzes a bit more... especially by finding some recognizable overstrikes like...

Hi all, I have this RR Sextans that I've been trying to ID. It looks to be anonymous... so I'm having trouble finding the correct reference or...
Sad. I bought this one broken for $11. On the way to me, it broke again. I super glued it back together. I usually would not buy broken coins......
The reverse legend is VIRTVS EXERCITI. These types were issued by Honorius and Arcadius from roughly 395-401AD. They were minted at 6 mints across...
By this point (early to mid 350s) the FEL TEMP REPARATIO fallen horseman coins were minted for 3 people. Constantius II, Constantius Gallus, and...
Marcus Aurelius... it’s an abused coin but I don’t see any reason to suspect it fake. However, we can’t be certain from photos alone... only a guess.
Ooh... that second one is what is known as a “fallen horseman” (or “falling horseman” depending on who you ask). That should be enough of a clue...
It’s actually one of Constantine’s sons. It is Constantius II. The obverse legend reads FL IVL CONSTANTIVS NOB C. The reverse legend reads...
