The Theo. II is interesting. Nicomedia changed their MM not long after, if not immediately after, that issue(I think, I oughta check before...
Interesting. Thanks
I got one in the mail today. A Constantine, SOLI INVICTO COMITI, a pretty common type. But at Ticinum, one of the control symbols used was...
See! That it's freaking cool. A unique coin for a couple bucks. Great find.
Wow! Seriously nice find! I do not believe it's an engraver's error. They look too deliberate, there's at least a couple different Re dies, & now...
Nice find, good portrait indeed. Is the relief as high as it looks? So many letters on a little coin, beautiful
Very interesting, thanks. Gotta say, the main show without the c/m is a beautiful coin on top of it all; holds it's own on its own. Congrats, nice...
A lot of common types of ancient Roman coins have a rare, or even very rare, variation. Like a certain mint, a specific mint mark, a control...
And while I'm at it, I've been itching for an excuse to post another similar find. This time Theodosius II. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] 1.6g; 15mm X 14; 0°...
Nice coins. The 1st, with the 2 Emps. stg. F., rarely comes that nice. Though, not to be that guy, but if I could geek out a min; it's...
Flat, to me, would make early Celtic less likely. The few coins I have are slightly cup shaped. Indo-greek maybe? Off chance it's a mid-4th C....
Yeah...I doubt I'll succeed. But it's nice to have goals. I've stumbled on rarer, giving me a likely unjustified glimmer of hope. My "White...
Holy Nonsense with that Virt. Ex.! Just wow. I did not know there was such a coin, & I love Late Roman AE. Grumble, now I gotta find one.
Very nice Sev. Alex; my favorite type of his. Lil bit jealous
That is interesting. Can I ask, is it flat? Or is one side concave & the other convex?
I recently scored 3 new...Honoriuses? Honori? 3 coins on which there is a portrait of Honorius. 1 or 2 are "in the name of" & issued by others,...
Love the idea of this thread. You're awesome, OP. Was gonna/probably still will post this as part of a 3 new Honorius coins post, but it's my...
That is a BEAUTIFUL Theo. II! I've got some with a nice Ob or nice Re, but not the combo. Wonderful coin.
Scored myself a Basiliscus monogram in a lot from numismatiklanz on Ebay. Came with a decent enough Leo, Lion, CON & a barbarous(?) Johannes in...
Replying to myself seems weird. But, for what little it's worth to whomever may care or be in a similar attribution search as I was, the coin I...
