When my father was in the Army during World War II, I think his pay to start out was $21 per month!
Google wasn't really much help. There are about twice as many results for McAlee 745c as for 745a. The only possible differences I can see (I'm...
I've seen both McAlee 745a and 745c cited for this coin type. It sounds like you have the book, so is 745c an error? Or does it signify some...
Thanks to all!
Thank you. And such a monogram would be likely to appear on all or most of the examples of a particular coin type minted in Antioch?
Thank you. I've read and enjoyed all your book reviews, more than once! Whether or not I pursue collecting Roman Provincial coins in the future...
I've posted this coin before, but I didn't ask at the time if anyone knows what the two different monograms on the reverse signify -- see the...
But was 30 denarii a trivial, paltry sum at the time? If not, that interpretation would be contrary to the point of the story -- that it was a...

I have found and added another reference to my description of my (expected) new Diadumenian coin that I posted above in this thread. The new...

Of course, for all I know Svoronos was wrong and it is a tetradrachm. After all, the book was published circa 1904! Not that it matters what...
I notice that according to the page for Svoronos 1228 at https://www.coin.com/images/dr/svoronos/svc001p172t.html, it's a didrachm, not a...
I frequently see references to SNG Copenhagen for both Greek and Roman Provincial coins. I don't suppose it's online anywhere, is it? I...
Same two for me.
OK, I wasn't going to post this because it might be bad luck to do so -- the coin hasn't arrived yet -- but I did actually order a Diadumenian...
On the reverse, Elagabalus in his role as high priest: Elagabalus AR Denarius, 221-222 AD, Rome Mint. Obv. Laureate, horned & draped bust right,...
I make no claim to expertise, but compare the name Gordianvs on your coin to the name on all the ants and denarii posted in the current Gordian...
