I can't help, but it is a lovely coin.
Nah, it's probably a good thing Siliqua are as rare as they are. Less competition= they'll all be mine!:vamp: Here is a Gordian III Denarius I...
Very funny!:smuggrin: If only Siliqua were as common as Gordian ant's......... [ATTACH]
Damn. You guys have given me Gordian fever! Now I want to get one!
Cool. Yours is much better than the one I have. I would like to have this baby in my collection. Congrats!
You can't go wrong with Gordian III! Very nice, Pish! I sometimes wonder how many of these were minted? I guess it must have been in the millions...
Nice!
Love the write up! Wasn't Ptolemy the only Diodochi to die of natural causes?o_O So here is a tetradrachm of Ptolomy X. I always loved the weight...
Good question, does any one know the answer to that?
I always had a thing for black toning on silvers. Very nice coin! Here is my only black toned coin.

Yeah, I have been thinking about that.:snaphappy: Thanks Chris! How much does that bad boy weight?
Thanks Orfew and Tiberius! I always loved the bust style of the Arles mint. Very nice!
Nice trio of bronzes, Bing! Really digging that Snazzy Double Maiorina!
Many thanks Doug! I shall offer sacrifices in your name tonight! I see that Julian grew his whiskers out a bit on your coin! Nice!
I think Zumbly got it. Way to go big Z!
