What's better than Victory? Two, of course. That's what this AE 33 from Pisidia, Antioch has on the reverse. I don't know this did Gordian III...
The letter styles on the coin you are considering are markedly different from the coin sold by Bertolami. They are quite crude and weak in...
Yes, I've had also had glitches occur, usually with long delays in submitting bids during the live sessions, or everything "freezing" up, usually...
Thank you, I have many more that I hope to photograph and post in a more comprehensive thread.
For many years I had an almost single-minded pursuit of collecting Spanish colonial and mainland coins, primarily 8 reales. Since around 2017 I...

Looks like a little smoothing was done, which is not terribly unusual with these large bronzes. I like the portrait!
Very nice coins and an interesting thread. I dug out three gun money coins that I've owned for many years, and took some photos of them today....
The label that came in the slab gives it a 5 for strike and a 3 for surfaces, with the notation "scratches". There are some extremely small...
