Me and my avatar love it. I have a couple, but none with a scoop out of them. As Bing noted, the Marsyas tale is great (and grisly). Here is a...
I think those are lovely Owls, Kentucky, and I would've happily added them to my collection for that price. As for aiming higher, that's fine if...
I guess these Bath souvenir coins were rather common some years back - real coins, not museum copies. Where they came from, I have no idea,...
You got me looking, Roman Collector...I just found two more, both Gallienus, Aesculapius and Apollo: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Forgot I had this one - Postumus with Aesculapius as SALVS: [ATTACH] Gallic Empire - Postumus (266 A.D.) Cologne Mint - Antoninianus IMP C...
Nice Salus coins, everyone. I now have two of the Claudius II Gothicus with Isis and SALVS. One is desert patinated, the other with some intact...
I went there in 2007 and found the souvenir prices to be a bit daunting. Loved to visit, but had to pass on the "waters."
Every once in a while, souvenir Roman coins from the town of Bath turn up on eBay. I've bought a couple, and they've been pretty nice (and...
I really like that coin, Doug. Recently, I came across one with some corrosion issues, but I liked the style (and it was cheap). Anyway, I am...
Hoping it's not too late to join the "Headless Medusa Club." I never thought I'd get one of these (too expensive), but I found a cheap(ish) one...
I like 'em both. That Otacilia Severa is quite nice - the chip makes it affordable, but almost nothing is missing, just a bit of the inscription.
Nice catch, Doug. The Germanicus is very nice indeed, but I have a soft spot for Marsyas on the fourree.
Good advice, everybody. I'd like to take a moment to address the actual coin in question. It is an antoninianus of Gallienus (most of you...
Speak of the devil. Just found an eBay listing for a "die match" (I doubt a die was involved) for the fake Hadrian AE I posted above. Seller...
There was a thread last month that I put in my 2 denarii worth last month. At the risk of repetitiveness, below is my contribution....
I've had really good experiences with this eBay seller. I've bought two or three things from him and have been perfectly satisfied. As for...
Roman Collector, you are awesome. Thank you for taking the trouble to straighten this out for me. I really had no idea there are so many noted...
I recently picked up a beat-up sestertius of Faustina II with the FECVNDITA reverse and (only) one baby. While trying to attribute it, I came...
Nice coins, everyone. I recently picked up a Severus Alexander as with Providentia, my only non-sestertius AE for this ruler. [ATTACH] Severus...
I have a Marcianopolis eagle for Geta. Attribution was kind of a problem because I couldn't quite match the inscriptions. It's close, I think....
