Looks like a most excellent auction. May the best bidder win!
Yes, very informative, and great sleuthing... keep up the great work!
Nah, this one is of Gallienus. He also had a big issue of animal coins.
It doesn't look like any type I've ever seen before. I would think it may be some sort of fantasy coin.
@Tejas, all your coins look genuine, but the first coin you show from Lansky seems fake. The style is quite off. Or am I missing something?

Lansky is another shop which knowingly sells fakes. They sold a fake Baletium coin for EUR 8000. When I called them on it, they went ahead and...
Incredible collection. LOL - on the modern side, I love reading Steven Saylor as well! Lindsey Davis is another good UK Roman mystery author....
Wow, absolutely stunning coin! I would have bought it as well ;)
Wow - excellent detective work @ The Trachy Enjoyer, and thanks for your help to continue keeping people honest! Given the number of fakes...
