Coins showing Sabina with her hair up in back are a great deal scarcer than the ones with her hair down (like the only one I have*) -- and are...
Thank you. A quite different reverse from the other two. Does it look struck or cast to people?
@curtislclay, if Paris possesses what could be a genuine example, do you have a link to an online photo of the Paris specimen? It would make sense...
That's Aurelian I believe, but I don't think that's who it is either.
Perhaps. But at least all the emperors with more than a very slight beard can be eliminated. The main problem is how common eagle reverses were.
It can't be Claudius II, since his coins went only up to Year 3. Besides, he had a beard, and this guy looks beardless.
I'm sorry -- what does Trot mean?
Very interesting coins. I'm afraid I have no Imperial quinarii at all, only these two common Roman Republican examples -- one issued by M. Cato...
I've bought quite a few nice coins from Frank over the last year and a half, and expect to continue to do so in the future. I've usually enjoyed...
Great choice! I would love to buy the Titus you decided to leave for the rest of us, but the Social Security payment I got this month is a bit...
I had the exact same thought: when we see something like that, we automatically think "medieval," but there were fortresses and city walls that...
OK. I thought you were saying the phrase "me too" itself is a provocative political expression.
Great coins, and I love the Eszett!
No, but I don't have a problem with my own images. It's other people's websites that are often a problem for me: if the text is dark enough for me...
Better a dozen (really only seven!) requests in one post than seven separate posts in a row! Still, yes, I can see your point that one might...
Changing the text to "high contrast" (whether it's an option one already has or one uses an app) is helpful in viewing text on a lot of websites...
So it's quoting Frank's original comment (in order to complain about it) that crossed the line? I guess if one imagines Frank having made that...
That's a general problem for me with a lot of the text on the Berk website, including the coin descriptions. Or maybe my eyes are just getting old.
Very nice coins, @Limes! Here are two recent acquisitions, which have nothing in common except that both portray Roman emperors who lived to be...
I would certainly hope that it's OK to say if he removed the "joke," and responded to the complaint. It would be difficult to argue that there was...
Separate names with a comma.
