Again, great coins! Here's that one with the painted numbers I mentioned earlier without the photo. [ATTACH]
Great coins! I especially like the Maximinus! Here’s my coin bought just for the numbers. Oops... posted, forgot to add the photo, now can’t...
Love the zoo coins! They’re so much fun as they’re a theme both easy to start but a never ending challenge to find one in just a little better...
That’s a cool coin! I love these Claudius coins as well. Here’s one a bit more common. I just wish it had SPQR on the reverse. This one was a...
BTW... as I try to attribute this coin using Milne, it's not easy. The obverse legend seems pretty continuous but is sorta broken by the laurel...
What's everyone working on late tonight? I'm just trying to squeeze the last few drops of vacation out of this holiday before work comes around...
Haha, your comment about arguing with fools reminded me of something that gave me a giggle fit yesterday. [ATTACH] Oh! And beautiful and...

hello! Looking to find a specific reference for this Commodus coin. It's very similar to one posted on the first page but with a different obverse...
Reminds me of the 2016 news story where a coin collector’s son dumped his collection into a coinstar machine for drug money... getting like $50...
I’m going with authentic. The edges don’t look off to me and the scratches, bankers marks, wear and strike all look legit.
I went back and forth on this bust and the front vs rear views... eventually, I remembered I do have a text that may help, The London Mint of...
I don’t know why... but I love Claudius II coins. Below are a few pics that I have handy on my phone. Here’s one that’s really ugly but you don’t...
Nice coin! I am in the same boat as you were. I have probably 60 Aurelian coins but none of these denari yet. When I find them, they’re either...
In other news... working on this one: [ATTACH] Elaiussa-Sebaste, Cilicia. AE unit. 100-1 BC. Bearded head of Zeus right, hair bound in a taenia....
