Thank you. :bangg: I misread the delta sign (Δ) in the name, as well as the "M". guy
:high5: Thank you. Thank you. I really am humbled by the depth of numismatic knowledge that is found around here. Dionysos, how did you...
I love that Third Century stuff. As you mentioned, not a good day for dad, either. The defeat at the battle of Abritus AD 251 at the hands of...
Here's what I presume to be a Third Century Romano-Egyptian tetradrachm with Serapis on the reverse (year 2). (Not my coin). Can anyone better...
That's why sometimes I like NGC certified coins and the more recent PCGS coins : If the picture quality is poor, one can sometimes see a better...
I think both your varieties (long beard and short beard) are nice. I liked Ancient Doug's article he wrote a long time ago discussing the...
I don't collect Ancient coins (or any coins, for that matter). That said, I do research on many numismatic pieces. So here is my opinion: With...
I think both Paddy and Ancient Doug are spot on concerning the reason for the slow conversion from a hammered coinage despite aborted trials of a...
Paddy: Thanks, again, for this interesting thread on early milled British coinage. Here's a good review by the historian / numismatist Guy de...

What a great reverse on the coin. :thumb: As mentioned in your coin's description, it is similar to the Rome's first gold coin, which was...
Touché, Ancient Doug. Let's say, instead, two legit emperors and one wannabe. Or, three emperors only in one man's mind. ;) guy P.S. Then,...
What a great collection of coins. This collection and your enthusiasm for them remind me of what I like about numismatics: holding a piece of the...
What a great piece of numismatic history from one of my favorite (but little appreciated) periods of time—The Early Hanoverian Reign. This...
Geez. Although I am not a "coin collector," I do some research requiring more than a basic knowledge about numismatics. I frequently refer back to...
First of all, let me say that I enjoy the Roman history discussions, although I may have different interpretations. I don't want to be...
I agree with Paddy that the history behind this coin is great. Most Americans don't know about the War of Jenkin's ear:...
That is a great coin which is filled with so much history. :thumb: That said, we should remember that the milled coinage of Elizabeth I was just a...
Coming out of the closet…. Well, let me say that I don’t collect coins. I do enjoy Ancient Roman history, however. And I do "accumulate"...
That’s funny and and just plain silly. :too-funny: Thank you, nevertheless, for your thoughtful assessment of my post. I have never claimed to...
