A snack that arrived this week. I really like these coins from Milan. [ATTACH] Gallienus AD 260-268. Mediolanum Antoninianus Æ silvered 19mm.,...
I wish I had forgotten coins as beautiful as that one! The style is different but powerful at the same time. Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely! I love it and the hole looks nearly as ancient as the coin, so lots of history in this one at the price of a lunch. Thanks for the...
Mine isn’t pretty as it has a square nail hole but the hole allowed me to snag it cheaply. [ATTACH]
Oooh I like that coin, looks like it’s from Milan. We had a thread on Milan issued Claudius II coins while back. A fun group to collect!...
Thanks Andrew! Like I mentioned, they're not pretty. The two are probably common and maybe even the same type. They've been set aside for quite...
I have the Marcus Aurelius version of the same coin. [ATTACH]

Yeah looking back at my notes... it seems when I filtered Helcetica’s Aurelian list, I was left with some coins from Siscia but the style didn’t...
Great and interesting coins everyone! While I don't have the shorter IOVI CONSER, I do have this coin with the longer IOVI CONSERVATORI legend....
I totally agree! When I got it, the coin had some loose dusty dirt that I took off with light dry brushing but after a second of thought, I didn’t...
My favorite DAFNE! [ATTACH]
Yeah it was amazing, maybe 7ft tall (on its base)! It was with a traveling exhibit of artifacts found in a sunken city. The exhibit was well worth...
A really cool artifact Donna! Super cool. I was able to see a giant Egyptian Apis bull statue here in Minneapolis at an exhibit at the Minneapolis...
