Thank you for that thorough evaluation - I've really enjoyed your website, and it, and postings throughout the Forum have given me a new...
Any elephant ancient would be a great thing to have. Mostly I have horses and a few eagles.
Yeah, I was pretty happy with them. My only problem on the Postal Commemorative stuff was that the packaging is so pretty I hated to take it apart.
A couple years ago I bought one of those Postal Commemoration Society ancient coin packages - "Ancient Silver Coinage" consisting of a Roman...
It could be, but my photos are darker than the coin in hand. The visible silver parts look like the typical Severan-era 50% (or so) alloy. The 2...
I recently obtained a cruddy denarius of Julia Mamaea with some damage that I thought might be interesting. It is has a lot of (very...
Wonderful examples. That Judaea example is especially interesting - what an unusual portrait.
This Vespasian-Vitellius bust type topic is very interesting to me. I've been digging around my own scruffy Vespasian collection and looking at...
This has been very, very helpful. That "seen from back" description was confusing me too (though I forgot to mention it). I really appreciate...
Recently got this Constantine II bronze (I think) - it was part of a lot, and in hand it was much better looking than I thought it would be. Some...
I really enjoyed looking at all these posts - what an interesting series. I don't have but four or five LRB, but I do have a Constantine...
I was recently looking into Vespasian denarii with Vitellius portraits and found a listing on VCoins from Incitatus Coins. The seller had the...
My first ancient, from a local coin shop, March 1987. Nothing spectacular, but I still love it. Color is more of a pewter gray than the photos...
I hadn't thought fouree - interesting thought. There is no trace of plating on this one, and it is very, very chunky for a denarius.
Thank you so much for the information. The imperial portrait types info was enlightening. I could not see any sign of a seam - I've run into a...
I've been watching this for about a month at a local dealer's shop and finally decided to get it this week. My dealer had it described as a AR...
I like Faustina's (both Sr and Jr) coins - cheap and abundant, but also underappreciated. The thing I find both interesting and somewhat...
[ATTACH] Ah ha! Thank you.
Thank you so much for all of your comments and warm welcomes. I'm kind of glad the coin is causing some difficulty - I was afraid it would turn...
