I think I had just over 100 different emperors and empresses (108, as I recall) in my old “A to Z” (Augustus to Zeno) collection (which I built in...
Nice bigger bronze.
Crude, but cool. Interesting period. I know little about that era.
This is the only solidus I have ever owned. Zeno (emperor of the East, A.D. 476-491). AV Solidus. Thessalonica, A.D. 476 or later. Pedigreed...
I have no idea, of course, but that seems plausible enough to me.
That could be- I had a 1714 British Guinea of Queen Anne once, which had an initial carved below the bust. But I still don’t think there were a...
I did have a US gold dollar love token (and another one on a Seated dime) that had “LM” engraved on the coin! :)
Thanks, that does seem like a pretty good deal. A lifetime portrait denarius for well under 500 bucks, with most of CAESAR on the flan, like my...
I do not (and have not) owned any Galatian coins. Yours look lovely, however.
It doesn’t look bad. In fact, it looks quite decent. Since you capitalized the word “Fine” (indicating the grade), I will say that this coin...
Great historical piece! Alas, I cannot. :( But I’m currently working on it. Trying to add a lifetime Caesar portrait coin to my Twelve Caesars...
I don’t think there’s any scientific way to determine whether a graffito is ancient or modern? But in most cases, on an ancient gold coin, I would...
This thread really got me to brainstorming. I wouldn’t be ready to drop $5K or whatever on one of those tall snack-style machines, but the...
What did you get?
That’s totally cool. Looks like a regular snack vending machine. I see some US coins in there!
Yes, I agree, it would be fun to own such a machine. And cheaper ancient (or just older) cash coins would be a cool product. Looks like they’re...
I always wanted to get a bubblegum-style vending machine with capsules and stock it with World coins. I’d include a little printed sheet that...
“Cast”, as in modern fakes of some kind? Or legit older Chinese cash coins that were cast?
I often wondered why Nero is the most (or at least one of the most) commonly encountered emperors in available aureii. I’ve seen a lot of...
