It doesn't matter what it's worth -- in this case, very little because its patina has been stripped and its surfaces are rough and corroded....
BMC Alexandria is online in pdf format.
I think it's @dougsmit because the reason for acquisition is consistent with many of his other acquisitions. It just sounds like Doug.
At OCRE, there is a specimen in the ANS collection that may even be a double die-match. OCRE considers it to be RIC 52A. Here is the ANS specimen:...
The dude sure knew how to rock the neck beard!! My favorite Tacitus: [IMG] Tacitus, AD 275-276. Roman billon antoninianus, 3.57 gm, 21.1 mm....
Either this isn't listed in RIC or I'm looking in the wrong place. RIC does not list this coin with officina gamma. This coin doesn't have a...
Here's my year 2 of Diocletian: [IMG] Diocletian, AD 284-305. Roman billon tetradrachm, 19.2 mm, 7.24 g, 12 h. Egypt, Alexandria, AD 285-6. Obv:...

Notice how there is a raised dot as well as a depressed pit in the middle of the obverse. The raised dot was a feature of the die and results from...
I have a left-facing Domitian from Antioch, too: [ATTACH]
Tiberius! My avatar coin: [IMG] Tiberius, AD 14-37. Roman AR Denarius, 3.87 g, 18.5 mm, 5 h. Lugdunum, AD 16-37. Obv: TI CAESAR DIVI AVG F...
