Thanks Victor! Yeah I love LMCC as a resource but with this coin, I was a bit lost. Those RIC 6a coins stretch across several groups in the...
Thanks for the citation! I love finding a good rabbit hole to climb down. I’ll be reading through this for sure. Here’s a link to the text. I’m...
I really love your Julian. What's funny is my favorite detail is the hump on the bull which is covered by encrustations on my coin. That's a...
I think it's overrated. Common but expensive. However... if you're looking to tell a story (albeit one that's been told many times before),...
Hey all, Long time, no Saturday Night Free for all. I post here and there but coin time has been scarce. Figured I'd revive this thread for fun....
I really like the OP coin with Probus on horseback. I don’t believe I have one of those. Below is my favorite Probus on horseback coin. [ATTACH]

That’s a great portrait! I agree that I’d leave it alone if you can’t easily just pick off the encrustations with something that’s not going to...
Oooh, those are rare! I have dreams of finding one of those unidentified in a cheap lot. Can we see it?
Here’s my best early Gordian portrait. [ATTACH]
That's a great coin! I would have tried to pick that one up if I'd noticed it too! I have this Aurelian that was for certain silvered in ancient...
A lot of great coins above! I like these types of threads and looking at the differences between coins of the same types. I have quite a few of...
That’s a nice coin, the obverse especially! Since posting this thread in 2019, I may have a few more to add to it. I’ll check.
Something like this? https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=713983 https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2007655...
Here’s mine: [ATTACH]
I don’t think I’d clean this one. I looks worn and has corrosion spots. The sand and dirt highlights what’s left and covers some blemishes. It’s...
