It's my understanding that regardless of how and by whom the Solutrean theory has been misused, any possible legitimacy it may once have had as a...
For whatever reason, coins of "Pupi" seem to me to be even harder to find, and even more expensive, than Balbinus. I think it'll be quite some...
Thank you. The reason I vote for parazonium is that I'm pretty sure I see a hilt with a crossguard on the one on my coin. (Unless it's simply...
I was able to acquire this coin at a substantial discount from the original price. It was described in the catalog as being "near Extra Fine,...
Confession: I just ordered a couple of them about an hour ago!
Thanks for posting this, along with the link to the list of Gallienus zoo coins and mintmarks. I had never seen such a list before, as opposed to...
Compared to the magificent libraries shown above, my collection of books about ancient coins (like my collection of ancient coins itself!) is...
This George II 1729 Maundy silver penny and Victoria 1838 silver three-halfpence (minted for use only in the colonies) are each only 13 mm. in...
Rather than posting photos of any of the various sovereigns and half-sovereigns I still have, see this post of mine with photos of a bronze Edward...
See this post of mine with photos of a bronze Edward VII 1902 coronation model half-farthing token, with St. George (and his horse) and the Dragon...
See this fairly recent post of mine in the World Coins forum, with my photos of an 1820 British silver medal I have commemorating Napoleon's...

My only Neptune coin is this one: Roman Republic, L Lucretius Trio, AR Denarius, 76 BCE. Obv. Laureate head of Neptune right, XXXIII above and...
Wow. I'm very impressed! The substantial majority of my numismatic books still concern Great Britain: I sold most of my British coins and...
Thank you very much. I hadn't thought about the legend as intended to be forward-looking as much as retrospective, but it certainly makes sense.
@Steven Michael Gardner, I just wanted to let you know that the coin arrived in the mail today. I am, in fact, very happy with it. Thank you!
The last coin I needed to complete my set of antonianiani of Philip I & family with animal reverses, issued in connection with the games held on...
Just reverse the way you look at so what you see as the animal's tail (or rear end) becomes the head (with a fish in its mouth), and vice versa.
Are you telling this story because you, yourself, have something against atheists or the idea of "world government"? (The latter is something I...
Some countries have issued coins that are in color, at least partially. They all look "wrong" to me. Like play money.
