Great coin and greater story behind it, @Alegandron!
May had been a pretty busy month for me in terms of coins purchased (compared to other months since I started ancient collecting one year ago)....
Very nice, RC! I remember them from your post and found it fascinating and the reverses beautiful and unique!
That is very interesting!! (I'm trying to hold back from a joke having to do with a crack in the reverse die... oops! :angelic::D)
Oh I guess that makes sense... It appeared to me like a cloth in the wind initially and threw me. Thanks for the clarity!
Anyone know what the little fly away thing down near the G is? Coming off the anchor?
I did! :D
Just received a package from a recent purchase (more to come in the coming days) and I decided to do a little bit more comparison on this...
:banghead::arghh::bigtears::D (and WOW! That IS a bad day!!)
Very nice Gordian silver, @Bing! Here's a big bronze of G3: [ATTACH] Gordian III, Sestertius, Struck 240 AD, Rome Mint Obverse: IMP GORDIANVS...
Are the coins soaking in distilled water, @galba68?? I'm excited to see any hint of what's under that dirt! I think I see a standard on one?
They might have a pill for that ... :cyclops:
I recently picked up an Invictvs Sacerdos horned denar... It's currently in transit... No fancy rock and horses, but still an iconic boy emperor,...
That's what I'm counting on (with some basic terminology and a few fun facts thrown in)!
The thought of setting up a webcam and Live Broadcasting it shot through my head... but just as quickly was dismissed!
