I admit this coin is not very pretty, but it is scarce and of historical interest: [ATTACH] Sasanian Persia. AE Unit (2.44 g, 18 mm). Vahram V...
Yes, all of the coins shown so far in this thread are drachms, except for the last coin I posted which is a tetradrachm. The dashes found on many...
Cool! Yes, these are both of Frahat (Phraates) of Elymais, who ruled early-mid 2nd century AD. Elymais was a semi-independent kingdom under the...
Very nice! I'd say my favorites are 1 (of course), 2, and 9.
Wow, awesome pick-up! I've had my eye on getting one of this type for a while now, and with luck I might be able to add a Khwarezm tet to my Best...
I lost out on two very beautiful Parthian bronzes, but did manage to snag one very cool Sasanian piece, which will surely deserve a full write-up...
Not really my area, but a very nice group of coins. My favorites are probably the first coin (for the weird stick-figure guy), William I (obvious...
Oh no! Very sad to hear this. But if he is at Johns Hopkins, then I know he's in the best possible hands. He had my best wishes for a fast...
Wow, this was an unexpected nice surprise this morning! (And also, finally a _good_ surprise in 2020.) I only entered at the last minute, but I...

That's a very nice group @TypeCoin971793 , I didn't mind the Chinese focus at all. If I had to choose, I'd probably pick the fused group of Wang...

Guess we've got room for some nice wheat, courtesy of this AE prutah of Agrippa I: [ATTACH]
Very interesting! I was not familiar with this variety, so no idea why it was done. There are some Sasanian issues with the head of Ahura-Mazda...
I sometimes dream about finding coins on the ground. In real life, I will pick up any coin I spot on the ground, but in my dreams, there are...
This coin was #7 in my Best of 2020 list, but I hadn't done a separate write-up of it until now. [ATTACH] Persis. AR hemidrachm (2.10 g, 13 mm)....
It all depends on the situation. So, suppose you took your week's pay of a shiny $5 gold piece, and on the way home decided to stop at a saloon...
If you like the coin, you should buy it, regardless of what anyone else says. Personally, I don't find that cut distracting and would have no...
