[ATTACH] This coin. Screen shot of me loosing it at auction (grrrr). Seriously hope that whoever got it knows what they have. It's a rare...
Old thread, but gotta say; wow! Ever get to leaning one way or the other? Pulcheria is my guess. Spelling gets...interpretive on AE of the time....
The Theo. II is interesting. Nicomedia changed their MM not long after, if not immediately after, that issue(I think, I oughta check before...
Interesting. Thanks
I got one in the mail today. A Constantine, SOLI INVICTO COMITI, a pretty common type. But at Ticinum, one of the control symbols used was...
See! That it's freaking cool. A unique coin for a couple bucks. Great find.
Wow! Seriously nice find! I do not believe it's an engraver's error. They look too deliberate, there's at least a couple different Re dies, & now...
Nice find, good portrait indeed. Is the relief as high as it looks? So many letters on a little coin, beautiful
Very interesting, thanks. Gotta say, the main show without the c/m is a beautiful coin on top of it all; holds it's own on its own. Congrats, nice...

Nice coins. The 1st, with the 2 Emps. stg. F., rarely comes that nice. Though, not to be that guy, but if I could geek out a min; it's...
Flat, to me, would make early Celtic less likely. The few coins I have are slightly cup shaped. Indo-greek maybe? Off chance it's a mid-4th C....
Yeah...I doubt I'll succeed. But it's nice to have goals. I've stumbled on rarer, giving me a likely unjustified glimmer of hope. My "White...
Holy Nonsense with that Virt. Ex.! Just wow. I did not know there was such a coin, & I love Late Roman AE. Grumble, now I gotta find one.
Very nice Sev. Alex; my favorite type of his. Lil bit jealous
That is interesting. Can I ask, is it flat? Or is one side concave & the other convex?
I recently scored 3 new...Honoriuses? Honori? 3 coins on which there is a portrait of Honorius. 1 or 2 are "in the name of" & issued by others,...
Love the idea of this thread. You're awesome, OP. Was gonna/probably still will post this as part of a 3 new Honorius coins post, but it's my...
That is a BEAUTIFUL Theo. II! I've got some with a nice Ob or nice Re, but not the combo. Wonderful coin.
