That site has a reverse image search capacity, but it isn't free. The price information for sales of particular coins isn't available with a free...
You're very welcome, Erin. Which is why it's at least as important for antiquities as for ancient coins to buy only from reputable dealers. And...
Are there any Roman Imperial coins with such depictions, or do they appear only on Roman Provincial coins? If you're ever interested in...
@Johndakerftw , here is an excellent website with a great deal of information about fake antiquities of many kinds:...
I find it interesting that by charter, female animals are also barred from Mount Athos. An exception is made for cats, it seems, because female...
My only coin minted in Rome after 350 -- and I have only a handful of post-350 ancient coins in the first place, since in general they don't much...
I don't know what RIC's exact criteria were for classifying a coin as "scarce," but of course that volume was published almost 100 years ago and...
You too, Erin. As far as your dice are concerned, if you do a Google Images search for ancient Roman dice you'll find plenty of photos. And here...
Yes, I realized how pointless my comment about the similar reverses was after I posted it, and went and looked up the coins of Orbiana and...
It's interesting that this type is classified as "scarce" (in the old RIC, I assume), and yet this is the third example of it posted in this...
I was thinking about how tiny those banker's marks/test cuts actually are. In the case of the ones next to Medusa's mouth on the Plautius Plancus...

My one Trebonianus Gallus coin* also happens to have a FELICITAS reverse: Trebonianus Gallus, AR Antoninianus. 251-253 AD, Rome Mint. Obv: IMP...
One more for my Republican zoo. (Anyone who wants to read the saga of this gryphon's long journey from Paris to New York can find the details in...
Well, as @David Atherton predicted, the L. Papius denarius arrived with the mail today. (As it turns out, it wasn't sent by registered mail from...
There are pre-applied bankers' marks/test cuts on ancient counterfeits (plated silver) to make them appear more genuine, but I haven't heard of...
This article on Athenian owls, for which I've previously posted the link, has an extended discussion on bankers' marks/countermarks/test cuts,...
As someone (I wish I could remember who) described the reverse of this coin the last time I posted it, it shows Roma spring-cleaning some old...
A very nice coin, @Julius Germanicus. I think the portrait resembles (including in her hairstyle) the one on my Sallustia Orbiana denarius. The...
Thank you. I am now beginning to think that this is the most sensible explanation.
