@Roman Collector, here's what confuses me. How do we know -- other than because the catalogues say so -- that the figure on this reverse bearing...
@Roman Collector, am I correct that the example of this coin type that I found in the CNG archive, sold in the Triton XII auction in 2009, has a...

@Valentinian and @zumbly, thanks again for confirming the correct Hristova & Jekov and Varbanov numbers. I found them in the CNG archive, in this...
Thanks. That's the first time I've read an explanation of the difference. So what name would you give it to distinguish it from a compass dot,...
Thanks! Is "planchet center point" the technical name for what I called the compass point, or is it just another term for it? Interestingly,...

@hotwheelsearl, in response to your question, what looks like a very interesting article, as translated into English, entitled "Circulation of...
I came across this Roman Provincial coin of Trajan on VCoins the other day -- it's described as a Seleucis and Pieria, Beroia bronze AE, no...
I agree that "not very trustworthy" is putting a very positive spin on things. Their website is entirely fraudulent, listing entirely fictitious...
I understand, but in many cases I'm not sure guessing is required. There seems to be an overwhelming consensus that these coins were drachms...
I don't have his Greek Coins dictionary, but have the Roman one and look things up in it all the time. Plus it's fun to browse through!
