Provenance is always problematic, especially when it comes to coins sold from hoards. Individual coins are being found, I am told, in the Jordan...
That's a nice one, probably Egyptian. Here's a similar coin that I acquired earlier this year, with symbols in front of the portrait. This coin...
I did buy a silver dollar there, I think in 1970, when I visited NYC with my parents. Hudson's department store in Detroit also had a coin...
Very interesting photos. So, the large hoard found in Turkey of 5th century owls might be an anomaly. Turkey is a sizable country, and the...
Here's a provincial tetradrachm from Antioch. It's my best example of "the nose". [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Here's a double struck follis of Emperor Heraclius. This coin came out of a recent large lot of mostly crusty Byzantine bronzes. An added...
Van Alfen refers to the areas of central and southern Asian Minor as being dominated by local indigenous coinage, especially in Lycia. This...
Well, here we go again. You're probably wondering how much mileage can be had with one coin that has been posted before, but this is a "victory"...
Here's an Eastern Celtic tetradrachm, from Roma Numismatics E-Sale 68, purchased earlier this year. [ATTACH] Next: A gold or electrum Celtic...

You're right. The Athenian tetradrachms and other denominations have been discovered individually and in hoards through out Asian Minor and to...

For those interested in imitations of Athenian coinage, here is an important study in that field. Many of you, I am sure, are very familiar with...
Yes, in these stormy times the winds can blow into the forum and cause anger and division. I simply hope that we can maintain the qualities of...
Thanks! I'll make a note and label for the coin. I really don't remember when I acquired it, but it has been knocking around in a box for over...
I just came across this Alexandria BI tetradrachm, but I am not sure about the emperor, possibly Caracalla (on one of his better days)? Any...
Here's a nice Lysimachus drachm that Doug posted recently. Really nice centering on this one, especially the reverse, plus a top notch photo, a...
While wandering around the Internet tonight, I came across this short, interesting article on a large Byzantine gold hoard found in Israel in...
I'm the member who suggested that the second coin might be an imitation, possibly from Philistina. There's a long slightly curving line on...
I would bide my time, not rush into selling the denarius. But, if you do decide to sell, this forum would be a good way to test the waters. I...
