Yes, but as I pointed out earlier, Lanz sold this at auction back in 1994. My understanding from various people's comments was that he had a good...
Given the reverse legend VIRTVS ROMANORVM, I think it's quite possible that the reverse figure may be the personification of Virtus, rather than...
One wonders who was Ms. Ley's source for all of these perfect coins, and if she had a numismatic advisor for her purchases or relied upon her own...
Try the database at Probuscoins.fr. It has photos of 8 examples of RIC 17, and 2 of RIC 60, with Bastien numbers for each example.
I notice that both RIC 17 and RIC 60 cite Cohen 1 as their authority, and the descriptions seem to be identical. I know there are other cases in...
Such a list would be fair only if it were limited to the last year or six months or so. A lot of people have joined in that period of time. Even...
This is my only coin of Theodosius I, minted in Alexandria. It's the very last coin listed in my chronological catalog of the ancient coins I own....
I'm not qualified to offer an opinion on this coin's authenticity. But I will point out that the fact that an ebay seller shows 100% good reviews...
Notice her very Amazonian bared right breast. Male figures are not depicted looking like that. Here's another Virtus with a parazonium, held in...
This coin may (or may not) satisfy the latest request (I have no idea why the authorities disagree as to whether this coin was minted in...

My example of the 1797 cartwheel Twopence. 41 mm., 56.1 grams. I purchased it from Karl Stephens Inc. in March 1986; it was sold to me as being in...
Great set! I'm missing Julius and Otho, and that may always be the case. I know I could save my money until I can afford them, and not buy any...
But my main point was that the statement had a political slant in implying that that's all unions are interested in, and by phrasing your point...
I really like your posts too, but your original comment included a generalized and gratuitous slam at unions, which is about as political as one...
The only coins I have with provenances discovered after purchase are a handful that I've discovered were previously sold at CNG or Roma auctions,...
And what is the significance of that fact?
I guess it depended on how far you were sending it. When I was young, if one were sending mail within New York City, it would generally arrive at...
So are you implying that you now believe that the coin in the OP is genuine?
That was certainly true of some ancient coins contemporaneously, but the question is whether any genuine ancient silver coin could still look that...
