Thank you all - he is a good dealer and I am lucky to have him nearby. He doesn't have a huge number of ancients, but they are mostly quite nice...
I've never sought out fourree coins, but a few have come my way. It is astonishing how good the workmanship is on some of them. Here is a...
My local coin dealer has gotten a bit behind in his inventory, so he has been tossing coins in various drawers priced $12 to $0.50. A couple days...
After looking at all these posted examples, I am really getting interested in this series. Again, thanks all for sharing. I was reading...
Augustus would probably just banish me, like Ovid. Tiberius would have me drug through the Forum with a hook in my jaw. Ouch!
Interesting examples and information - thank you all. The Augustus/Tiberius portrait differences are interesting - because my OP example is off...
Neat coins, and fer sure, don't separate them. I just got a Egypt Tet of Claudius II with an unfortunate blob of green patina obverse, but a...
Nice find, Sallent. I almost hate to post this one, it is so cruddy, a "rare" head left: [ATTACH] Vespasian Æ As (78 A.D.) Lugdunum Mint IMP...
I read your words, Doug!
Nice Sestertius of Elagabalus, Gary. They are indeed hard to find, in my limited experience, anyway. I lucked into an as earlier this year, my...
That is very interesting, cmezner - thanks for sharing. I noticed a lot of variation in the portraits on these (mine has a kind of "square head"...
I'm constantly on the hunt for Marsyas, trying to expand beyond the RR denarius of Censorinus I already have (one of these is my avatar). Some of...
Those are some fantastic portraits of Vespasian. From my collection, my personal favorite Vespasian portrait is this one - despite its wear, I've...
Thank you all for sharing these examples - and their weights. This is indeed a pretty interesting coin from a pretty interesting place.
Thank you Ajax, that is reassuring about the weights - and nice examples you have there. My countermark is interesting, but it obscures the oxen...
I can get very smitten with a Roman coin portrait (not to make it weird - sorry). A while back I got this "unidentified" LRB that turned out to...
I am still quite new at Roman Provincials, and am at the bottom of a long learning curve. Just got this one, an Augustus from Philippi (maybe)....
Great examples, everyone. I'd really like a "frowny" Caracalla, but my bottom-feeding has only gotten my youthful portraits. Here is a recent...
Nice coin!
