Okay it's not my latest purchased but just last night I took fresh photos and created a new composition. I also studied the type some, and found...
Nice haul!
Lysimachos also struck smaller drachms with the same Alexander portrait/Athena design as the tetradrachm. They're a little bit less common than...
IT'S HARD TO THINK of a more iconic figure from ancient history than Alexander the Great, or a more consequential one. He succeeded his father...
Künker? That is a little strange then, they're not exactly a little-known back-alley house. I've bid there before, never won anything. As far as I...
I agree 100%. The auction house is completely in the wrong here - they dishonestly altered the product, i.e. removed a significant portion of its...
Nice coin! This was my first Augustus coin: (I've since sold it; this is the old dealer's photo) [ATTACH]
That is a particularly nice bust! I'm partial to Rome mint portraits of Constantine.
Hmm. I'm not sure it's ancient - looks almost like an Indian fanam. How about this? One Fanam - Kingdom of Thanjavur-Maratha – Numista
Wow that turned out really nice. What about the remaining green spots on the reverse?

*** UPDATE *** Since the last time I posted here, I've been doing a little more digging, trying to uncover more information about additional...
Wow, that is a very detailed and lovely scene on that sestertius!
I purchased a year's subscription to ACSearch which cost $80 and IMO it is money very well spent. I use it all the time not just for attribution,...
Good day everyone! Hope you are all doing well. Last time, I posted about a very rare as of Trajan. Today I want to show a much more common coin,...
I second the recommendation to use an archive site like CoinArchives or ACSearch to get a feel for market prices. However the coin you posted is...
This one took two months coming over from Spain. I like animals on coins, and this leaping lion is one of the nicest I've seen on a Roman coin....
For sure. I'm fairly new to ancient coins and from what I've seen, prices have gone up sharply in the last three years or so. And everyone seems...
Octavian eludes me, but I have a couple versions of his later incarnation as Augustus (or Sebastos, as the case may be!): [ATTACH]
