OK, updated to very common.
Fair enough about the peacock. Actually, I updated as scarce due to it being used quite a bit on Roman imperials in relation to empresses.
I accidentally started this on another thread, but I thought it might be fun to list animal on ancient coins in terms of rarity. I will throw...
Well heck, I missed those. :(
I see Vol 3 listed, but none for sale. Maybe it hasn't been released yet? Do you like these books? I have been thinking of buying them.
Very interesting. I actually have a couple of coins that look like this. I always chalked it up to defective flans, but are you saying the Athens...
Crazy little pieces of paper that allowed you to actually pay someone directly, without a multibillion dollar company insisting on taking a...
I thought a tessare was a pseudo coin, like a privately minted token. Bullas I thought were document seals. I could be completely wrong, but...
In a normal market that will not be true sir. Heck, I see such items, like milk spotted, fingerprinted, or colorized ASEs at spot or less from...

Lol, I happen to have HGC 12 sitting on my desk in a pile of coin books. Duh. I will pull it out and read. Thank you. Just getting into these....
As another example of the type, here is a tet for sale right now. This demonstrates the issue I mentioned of centering, and why I was happy with...
Looking at it again you could be right. It could be lighting of higher points I am mistaking for wear.
Not knowing the series, I would guess AU50-53. Very interesting coin.
Um, yeah. My wife would probably like your approach.... No greater strategy, no selling. I tell myself that there are many different mints, many...
Given the prevalance of them in auctions recently, I am assuming a large hoard of "middle period" Sasanian pieces were found. There has been just...
As many of you know, I collect many Central Asian coins. I like coins from the Persian empire, (Achaemenids, Parthians, Sassanians). I also love...
Every time I think of pigs, I think of my step mother, (not the way you are thinking). She had quite a large collection of pigs. I asked her one...
Heck of a coin for the price of a couple of quick lunches. :)
Interesting collection. I hadn't thought about pigs much on ancients. Available, yes, but not overly common. For animals, I would have four...
