I do too! But... I also know that those working on the project know infinitely more than I do about the subject. So surely there’s reasoning. I’ve...
That’s a beauty! None that I could see in RIC - MER. They have something like 23 or 28 pages of examples... I didn’t look at the images for all...
Ok, last one for tonight... Off center but in otherwise good shape. Off day at the hammer for Kevin. [ATTACH] Claudius II - PAX AVG - Milan - RIC...
Nice coins! Yeah, I've never been able to get those CONSECRATIO types figured out either. I have many listed as both too. Here's another... a...
Thanks! And thanks for the fantastic history tidbit. Although, I knew the generic story, I didn't tie it to these coins at this mint. More to look...
...and why not, here's another: [ATTACH] Claudius II - PAX EXERC - Milan - RIC V-1 159
Here's another from Milan. [ATTACH] Claudius II - VICTORIA AVG - Milan - RIC V-1 171 Dark photo too... although normally I like much brighter...
I recently received this coin. It seemed straightforward enough but... It's missing the usual "P" mint mark. RIC lists both "P" and no mint mark....
Wow... Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, Faustina I, Faustina II, Marcus Aurelius as Caesar... lots of fun there! That’s amazing! You can’t find...
Yeah, I guess thinking about it... I don't have any imperial Valerian coins with a beard and I have quite a few of them... but none as nice as...
Here's two more new coins too. I'd create a new post for them but we just had the New Years post for Alexandrian coins and that's passed now... so...
If I had to guess... I'd think that's a really early coin before they knew what Valerian looked like. The portrait is great and they dude is...
Beautiful coin! Lots of fun interesting details to look at. Sounds like a painful process to get back on track. Glad your technical problems are...
Nice coins, I like them all. I've always had a thing for Crispina though. I only have one coin of hers, just an as... so that sestertius is cool....
This is probably one of my better Valerians with good metal. [ATTACH] And... here's a fake Valerian Alexandrian Tetradrachm that @Justin Lee and...
Break ‘em out! With experience, you’ll know what they are without the information on the slab and you can always photograph the slab and...
Yes, the lone (as far as I know) bareheaded bust campgate of this period. I have one of those too! Here’s mine... looks to be an obverse and...
That quinarius is sooo cool! I've seen you post it before and love it every time. Those don't come up often! Great coin Victor! Other than the...
Just for fun (trying to get my 3 year old to sleep) I thought I’d pass on a few phone editing apps that can help with combining photos and erasing...
This coin recently popped up and among all of the usual IOVI CONSERV(variations), this one was a little different. It includes two extra standards...
