Thank you so much Mika - I really appreciate the "line of thought" way you attributed this coin. When I started looking through the photos, I...
I've really been trying, surfing the Web looking at all those long cross pennies, the different legends, the crowns, the variations in the king's...
I am pretty much a full-time bottom feeder. I don't have neither the funds nor the attention span to make a want list. Also, I like surprises....
Here's a sestertius collection I found on eBay this year. They were in separate auctions - I am using the seller's photos here (better than mine...
Some great coins (and deals) on this thread. What really drives my collection is finding lots of coins that are poorly listed, etc. on eBay. The...
A very interesting Gordian III you have. I recently bought a similar coin, supposed to be silver (to some extent) but not. It is an antoninianus...
Great find and very interesting write up. No Ludi Saeculares examples in my collection, alas.
This is an interesting thread. Nowadays I never pay $75 for an ancient - I shoot for $30 or less. Mostly silver denarii and antoninianii, with...
Very, very impressive.
Thank you Bing and Barry and David. Vespasian's portraits are all over the place, especially the early issues, so I was a little hesitant to leap...
I really appreciate Wildwinds and use the site all the time to help with my attributions. But sometimes I get confused. I recently purchased a...
Yeah, fourrées aren't a focus of mine either - this Domitian was an accident. I bought off of eBay from some poorish photos. I suspected it was...
Thank you for the thumb's up on my specimen - and yes, he does look like Frankenstein's Monster. Peter Boyle's version in "Young Frankenstein"...
I recently got a Max Thrax sestertius on eBay. I thought the portrait style was a bit more "bull-necked" and "square-headed" than most I've seen...
Thanks for the info on this, David - I'm going to change the attribution on my "flip" since you know way more about these than I do. I agonized...
I thought I'd found my most "average" (in this case, ugly) Domitian, but here is a fourree with dramatic core exposure. The style's not too bad...
Thank you so much for your help with these, David. I doubt I'll get one of those "TR P XVI" examples unless I get very lucky. But it is nice to...
Thanks for that write up, David. I really appreciated the detail and the date range on Domitian's titles that you provided. I have a couple of...
That is a very handy chart. Thanks for sending it along.
I really like poorly-photographed and poorly-described eBay lots. You just never know what you're going to get, exactly. Recently I got seven...
