Is "unmoderating" a hole a term of art? It's new to me!
@Orielensis's reference to the qualities of Valerian's coins from different mints, and to the fact that there's apparently a difference of opinion...
Thanks. Just to clarify, it's my understanding from those links that countermarks and counterstamps are synonymous; it's "banker's marks" that...
See footnote re date on coin: Domitian and Domitia, AE 22.7, 93/94 AD, Cilicia, Anazarbus. Obv. Laureate head of Domitian to right, AYTO KAI ΘΕ...
[ATTACH] Next: a provincial Sabina.
I'm pretty sure the poor creature is right-side up, reaching towards mommy, and she is keeping him at arm's-length with great determination. If...
Faustina II [Junior) (wife of Marcus Aurelius & daughter of Antoninus Pius), AR Denarius, Rome Mint, Dec.160 AD. Obv. Draped bust right, hair in...

This is my one antoninianus of Valerian I, for which I've never been able to find an exact match in any reference work. There's certainly nothing...

[ATTACH] Next: Isis.
Thanks. How can one tell? His profile is still there.
But that, of course, has disadvantages itself. I don't think combining, say, two requests together necessarily becomes jumbled and unwieldy. Most...
Here's a coin with two little falcons if one looks carefully: Hadrian, AE Diobol, Year 16 (131/132 AD), Alexandria, Egypt Mint. Obv. Laureate,...
Just to clarify what I said to @Collecting Nut, since I don't want people to think I was being mean, I never said that "no more than a couple of...
Note that the OP hasn't said anything for days. Presumably he's reviewing all of his posts (under the various names he's used here at different...
Julia Titi Flavia (daughter of Titus), AE Dupondius 80-81 AD, Rome Mint. Obv. Draped bust right with hair bundled high in front and coiled in...
Yours is the same type as mine, with the control-number on the reverse, as opposed to the obverse control-letter of the sold coin. The other type...
Thanks. It occurred to me that the date- range I had didn't make too much sense.
Separate names with a comma.
