Heh, I've also joked about being sad because I can't collect Eid Mar denarii by dies. I'm relieved to learn I'm not the only one! Your question...
Here's an example of Crawford 452/4, the seated captive type I mentioned. Note especially the unnaturally large head. [IMG] This example ex Leu...
I can't agree with this. If a collector aims to have only one Caesar portrait, I think a lifetime coin is far more interesting and desirable,...

A very rare Luceria sestertius, Crawford 98A/4a: [ATTACH]
Since the thread has expanded to other Fonteia types: [ATTACH]

I borrowed images for the article. (They were credited somewhere in the magazine, but not in the body of the story.) The only coin HJB handled was...
Here's a better image of the featured coin: [ATTACH]
I found my Nymphaeum article. File attached.
The lagobolon-hockey stick is actually a special club used for bashing bunnies. (Seriously!)
I wrote a whole article on this type for The Numismatist a few years ago. I'll try to find a pdf when I get home. I'm pretty sure I have a photo...
Martini doesn't predate Grueber's BMC catalogue though, which is also chronological, albeit some of the dates have been revised since. Haeberlin...
