Do people think this is a stephane or a diadem? Or perhaps just a pair of jeweled devil horns? Severina (wife of Aurelian), billon Denarius,...
I have only three: Trajan Decius AR Antoninianus, 249-251 AD. Obv. Radiate bust right, draped and cuirassed, IMP C M Q TRAIANVS DECIVS AVG/ Rev....
How silly of me -- I didn't ever look at the plates!
Money is fungible. If my stimulus payment is electronically transferred to my bank account on day 1, and the same thing happens with my monthly...
@zumbly, I can easily see why that's one of your favorite RRs. I love the caduceus over Apollo's shoulder. I notice that you already have the...
I think citations for specific die combinations are always fun, on the rare occasions when one can find them. I didn't look closely -- that's...
Thanks for the great writeup and coins, @Sulla80. Your C. Calpurnius Piso L.F. Frugi seems to be No. 318 or 319 in the Hersh 1976 corpus of die...
Definitely not worth repeating!
Great writeup, as always. Faustina II: [ATTACH] Sallustia Orbiana [ATTACH] Julia Mamaea (or: diadem) [ATTACH] Tranquillina (with...
I thought perhaps some of the outrage expressed the last few days on a couple of subjects overheated the forum and caused it to shut down.

Just because the collection includes one or more coins that that auctioneer bought from Lanz more than 20 years ago, when Lanz still had a good...
Thanks. The really big, early sestertii are too big to fit in any of my trays, so obviously I can't buy any of them! Mostly, though, the reason is...
I'm sorry, but I couldn't figure out what you meant by the "2nd cover collection." But if you're saying that Lanz was simply one link in the chain...
No Severus Alexander sestertius, I'm afraid. My first two sestertii -- still my only two! -- were from Philip I (noticeably smaller than earlier...
Would it possibly have been in the Temple of Saturn because it was recently minted? The following is from my footnote to my description of the...
@Volodya, your three examples seem to be Hersh corpus nos. 282, 166, and 470 (that's apparently supposed to be a hammer as the control-symbol on...
@svessien, I think yours is probably Hersh corpus 125, with 2 examples in Paris and one each in Milan, Cambridge, and Turin: [ATTACH] It seems...
@Marsyas Mike, your C. Piso L.f. Frugi is actually Cr. 408/1a: that's a laureate Apollo, not one with a fillet. With the two control marks, it's...
Separate names with a comma.
