The fourree Clodius Macer is a known fake. Some clever forger figured out that you can make decent money by making plated fakes, yet fly under the...
The best Crawford 282 in my collection. These Narbo denarii are very challenging to find nice. They're very often corroded; so often that I...
My example. [ATTACH]
Well, you could try for a reverse brockage, but you'd need a die match to a normal Otho to prove it was his coin.
As I mentioned in my first post here, I collect RR denarii and fractions by Crawford variety. That means I need to find, not just the main types...

Finally found an image of one of my Scarpus denarii, the very scarce SCARPVS IMP legend variety, Crawford 546/7. So this is the very end of my...
[ATTACH] Again, not quite the end but close: My favorite legionary denarius in my collection. Image once again courtesy Andrew McCabe, who...
A nice Dioscuri from my collection, ex Roberto Russo Collection, Crawford 58/2. Again, image courtesy Andrew McCabe. [IMG]
Hi Doug! Yeah, that's my coin. I'll try to post an image, but probably not tonight. I can only do it from the pc upstairs and my wife will shoot...
