Thank you John. I thought my coin was pretty cruddy, but I guess these led hard lives, since the similar ones I could find online are pretty...
Hello John Anthony - I hope it is okay to resurrect and add on to your old thread, but I thought this might be relevant. Yesterday I got in the...
I thought those "Roman pound" amounts were suspiciously specific, Rob. Thank you for the clarification. It is also interesting to see that...
Coin A seems preferrable to me because the reverse inscription on B is poorly struck. Otherwise I like them both. A friend of mine puts...
A very interesting thread. The appearance/disappearance of silver puzzles me, ever since I was a little boy, when my grandma showed me how to...
Nice Antonines - I like the worn ones because I can afford them. Here is my only posthumous Antoninus Pius, with his column barely visible on the...
Nice coin. In keeping with the Flavian AEs, this past summer I landed a Domitian As on eBay, a common MONETA with a lot of wear, but it was only...
Wow. Those are really cool, zumbly. I didn't even know they made 'em like that. I am also impressed that the ancients had a special tool, and...
Actually, you've inspired me to look at my small collection a little closer. If I am attributing these right, I have one like yours, but uglier....
Your example looks good to me, but I am no expert. I have a couple of them that are very cruddy, low weight and apparently low quality. I've...
I recently got a Philip III Arrhidaios drachm and after looking at hundreds of online examples (including Alexander the Great and also...
Good question AussieCollector. My favorite site for Illyrian coins is this one: http://asklapiadas.ancients.info/02General.html According to...
Interesting post, and lots of interesting coins here. I don't really collect fourrée coins, but a few have come my way. This post provoked me to...
Great weirdo hands. Or is this evidence for baseball and gloves amongst the ancients? On the opposite end of the hand-size scale, I always...
I really enjoyed this post. Not a numismatic reference, per se, I recently found, for a quarter, Smith's Bible Dictionary from 1890 on the local...
I am pretty excited, gsimonel! Thanks to Victor Clark's assistance I was able to scrounge up more information on this coin. It appears it was...
Thank you Victor. Tiberius and Livia?!! Should I be excited? I know it is in terrible shape, but I never thought I'd have a Livia of any sort...
Recently I've been accumulating undescribed lots of ancients and then trying to attribute them - this has been very educational, and I've been...
Nice bargains, David and Deacon Ray & Doug. I really enjoy threads like this since my whole collection is pretty much nothing but "bargains." No...
I saw that one, and I agree with the others - it does not look official to me. Here is mine - bought in 1992, it is one of my first ancients:...
