Great post, as always! I have only the one Tiberius. The reverse has an incomplete legend, but I like the portrait and toning on the obverse:...
I wish it were "my coin"! And that cloud is clearly a wolf.
Thanks. See above: you can read the original online.
Thanks. I assume it's been reprinted? Edited to add: I see it's available online: https://archive.org/details/cataloguefamily00smytuoft . I will...
Thanks, but I'm not sure I want too many people interested in my artifacts! Especially if I identified myself by my real name. Plus, I wouldn't...
@curtislclay and @Volodya, here are three more examples, found on acsearch, of coins I would characterize as showing "something" protruding from...
Here's an example, from a 2015 NAC auction, of a coin on which you probably wouldn't notice or identify what's protruding from the back of the...

Now I see it! It is interesting that two different dies of the same type differ to that extent, since mine is clearly in left profile. Also, do...
I think your lion might be in right profile, but I'm not sure. I can also kind of see it your way.
That's a great coin -- nicer than my example, I think, especially the figure of Africa (given that mine has no face!), although I do like the...
I answered my question about the triangle on the bull's forehead pretty easily. See this description of a similar small bronze bull at the...
One thing I forgot to mention before. If you look at this photo I posted earlier, you'll see that in addition to the uraeus on the sun disk,...
There's an open space underneath the bull's wooden base, between the bottom of it and the floor of the dome. I could simply slide several...
