Always gotta say dumb stuff, don'tcha. ;)
Here is the writeup for that Seleucid Greek coin. Seleucid Empire: ca. 114-95 BC bronze Æ18 of Antiochus IX Cyzicenus, Eros/Nike [ATTACH] A...
9 is my lucky number as well, Sal. That's why I chose my round in this contest to be Round 9. Speaking of which, it is time we got going on...
It's "eBay rare", like the 1907 Indian cent.
Good slingshot ammo.
Here is the Round 8 prize lot, which is a mystery no longer. This is what @MeowtheKitty just won: :cat: January 2026 edit: and he never...
So here we are. The Round 8 drawing. [ATTACH] Our lucky number was... 264. [ATTACH] And Post #264 was by @ksmooter61 , on behalf of...

It never dawned on me to post it in Shipwreck Corner, since I only thought of shipwreck-pedigreed coins for that thread, not coins that portrayed...
The iridescent colorization on that one is pretty. I had to look up Guanyin.
Yeah, the hairlines kept the grade down, for sure. (In fact, I think the MS63 grade was charitable.) But like you said, it's nicely struck, and...
Since the title of this thread is budget Julius Caesar denarii, I'll share the first one I ever owned, from my first Twelve Caesars collection,...
Yeah- I had no idea these things existed.
FWIW, the patina and the lettering of the coin in the OP immediately looked “off” to me, BUT not enough that I could’ve confidently condemned it....
