So after an evening of drinking beer and generally relaxing on a Friday night, I came home, checked eBay and found a "Buy it Now" deal that seemed...
You have a hole in your collection, I have a hole in my Maximinus! :woot: Huge chin though. [ATTACH]
I have one similar to the OP, but mine is the PART ARAB PART ADAIB reverse. Not entirely sure about my attribution (Antioch mint?). [ATTACH]...
Holy Moley! Thank you for the information, Zumbly. I paid $7.81 for it (eBay lot). Bottom-feeder's luck for sure. I'm much obliged.
I am trying to catch up on attributing some recent purchases and am stumped by this denarius of Commodus. Using Wildwinds, etc., I can come...
I've really been enjoying your Gordian III project, Sallent. Keep up the good work. As for a Gordian III website, have you seen the one by...
I really appreciate information like this - "in the field" coin usage. Thank you for sharing. By the way, I was on your website earlier today...
I really enjoy your Marc Antony updates, Bing. Keep up the good work. Now, I need to get one of 'em for my collection. Just one. For now...
Well, here is a fake Julia Domna Geta bronze something-or-other. This was one of my first posts on Coin Talk and I was (gently) let down - I...
I just don't go in the $100 range these days - too much bottom-feeding on eBay. But here is one I got in 1994 for $95.00. Kind of a scarce one....
Thank you for the help, Roman Collector. Nice to see another example as well.
I recently picked up a dupondius (I think - it weighs 10.1 grams) of Faustina II from a local dealer and I was just getting around to attributing...
Reading Frank McLynn's Marcus Aurelius. Reviews were mixed (Mary Beard especially - a couple members are reading her now I see), and I'd agree...
Just got my first Faustina II "SAECVLI FELICIT" two-babies-on-a-throne denarius. The baby on the right is headless on my example. A miniscule...
A very nice coin, David. Interesting reverse. You're sort of turning me into a Flavian enthusiast - maybe not a fanatic yet, but I'm getting...
Congratulations, Sallent on completing an interesting set. I was wondering if D. Junius L. f. Silanus is a 90 B.C. issue or not? Wildwinds says...
It was kind of a odd-ball batch of stuff - below is a photo of all four coins (eBay seller's photo). I was most interested in the Vespasian/Mars...
I wouldn't regret those, especially the Caracalla. I like 'em!
Wow. Again, I am much obliged, Mika. "Star on Breast" and the "pothook N" - it seems so obvious, now that you point it out and explain their...
Every once in a while I luck into some cheap Greek ancients. Here are three drachms I've bought in the past couple of years. Macedonia Alexander...
