I remember that coin. You bought it from Gitbud und Naumann, right? :)
I also noticed that Constantius is scarcer than Constans for this series at Thessalonika, which is quite counter-intuitive considering that in...
I am a fan of the fallen horseman type and especially the larger AE2's of 348-353AD. What is appealing to these coins is - besides the many...
This is an interesting coin, of a type that was invented at Cyzicus after the mint was moved there from Smyrna in early 269AD. All coins of this...
Here is the denarius version of the same type, AE 2.29g, sold by Jose A. Herrero, in May 2012: [ATTACH]
Very interesting coins. Although one could wonder what would've been the point of minting Ases by that time. Were they - like Doug Smith said -...
Excellent detail on the reverse and quite scarce.
It cannot be a follis, as the denomination known today as follis didn't exist up until 294, when Diocletian's monetary reform introduced it....
This is a very interesting and rare coin, that some consider being an As others a Sestertius. Considering the period, it is most likely a...
And speaking of bad Poemenius, this one must be one of the worst still identifiable coins of his, which is a shame because it has the scarcer...
That one looks like a barbaric imitation of Magnentius/Decentius from Lugdunum. The one who made it into a pendant probably did not consider...
This one also fits the criteria of best worst coin because of all the corrosion and narrow flan: POEMENIUS in the name of CONSTANTIUS II AE1/2...
This one looks like your typical Rome style Maiorina of Magnentius from the first half of 350AD. What sets it aside is the weight. At 7.03g is...
No problem. Good luck with the hobby :)
Magnentius is usually portrayed with his head bare although he assumed the title of Augustus, while Decentius is always portrayed bare headed.
This one is a very nice spec for the type, with what looks to be a distinctive and sound green-blueish patina: PROBUS AE24mm 3.54g billon...
This is excellent! Do you think it was done intentionally to convey a certain religious piety from Domitian's part?
Regarding the comments about prices being high for siliquae, I think that if you have a certain idea of what you realistically want and have...
Although it is obvious this coin has seen better days, it is still interesting as a variation in the rich and historic emissions minted soon after...
The PACATOR ORBIS is overall a very nice coin.
