My example - ex Frank S. Robinson: [ATTACH] CONSTANTIUS II, AD 337-361 AE Centenionalis (23.98mm, 4.79g, 11h) Struck AD 351-2. Syria, Antioch...
That's interesting! I would suspect that might have been John Quincy Adams. Turner was too young (b. 1794) to have had anything to do with the...
Thank you all for the kind words! @Bing I asked the dealer about the chest and he told me he sold it about a year ago. That would have been a...
Anyone have one of these? [ATTACH] GORDIAN III, AD 238-244 AE As (25.10mm, 8.47g, 12h) Struck AD 242/3. Rome mint Obverse: IMP GORDIANVS PIVS...
Nice coins.
Yes, I should have been more clear on that. The envelope wasn't originally Salton's. I would love to know who originally bought/acquired the coin...
Nice coins! I think my favorites are 10 (always been partial to Nerva), 3 (stunning portrait of Tacitus), and 1 (just a very sharp coin, all...
Thank you! No, I didn't buy the entire Turner collection (though I would have loved to!) Some dealer bought it and I bought the coins from the...

Looks great! Please show us the "after" picture once they're cleaned. :)
Awesome! Congrats on the unexpected rarity. That's a really nice portrait of Zeus, as well.
Yes, I found that obituary too. I plan on double-checking the ebay seller from whom I bought the reference (maybe they were also consigned some...
Thanks! You have an impressive collection! I should have clarified that the coin itself (38a) is notated as coming from Favorito's own collection...

The one consolation in a situation like this is when the hammer price ends up being way beyond what you were able to afford, anyway. The worst is...
You mean you've had many of these coins?? Or just many of the same experiences missing on a desired coin? If the former I'd love to know where you...
Oh sorry I missed this post! Certainly - the coin in question was RIC IV 764 (R3): [ATTACH] https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=10987719 I...
I should. We'll see if I have the time.
Ah, so it was you who got this one! I've also been looking for this type and noticed it on the dealer's site too late. Congrats, it's a great coin...
Wow, what a cool story! A miniature hoard all its own. I hope you continue to post your findings here. :)
