In fact, one of the reasons I collect Galba is because of the 'majestic' portraits, and the variety of styles. The style of your coin is one I do...
Rare indeed, a type you do not see often among Galba's denarii. You are right, the portrait is unusual but realistic in my opinion. A nice...
This 1819 Cent, variety N-2 came as part of a lot I bought years ago. There were about 20 coins in the lot and I paid about $ 110-150 for the lot....
Lovely new Domitian, alde. Love the level of detail, specially on SPES. I am little intrigued by the style of the portrait. I don't believe I...
A little late in congratulating you, Nemo, on your wonderful achievement with regard to the coinage of the Civil War! If I am not mistaken you...
Mi mas sentido pésame en la muerte de tu padre. Que en paz descanse.
Wanted to share this rare 1797 which I cherry-picked some years ago. The variety is known for low grades and mushy/grainy reverses with the best...
Marshall, Molkever, many thank for your help with the die state. Moekeever, would love to see your latest 94's. I have been wanting to add some...
Thank you! I love the patina and specially the style of the bust. Pity the legends are so weak, though.
Nice coin, Parthicus. As you describe, the Dacian War and the ultimate defeat of the Dacian king Decebalus was one of Trajan's major military...
Which die state would you consider this S-202 to be in? Going by Breen's book it would appear to be somewhere between V and VI, but the...
S-202? I believe this coin was being discussed here?...
I would agree that it does not seem to be a fourree. The 'ship-side' does look unusual, but this may be due to a double strike as red_spork...
Exactly how I feel, and that is exactly the way I put together my collection of Roman coins starting 29 years ago. No regrets whatsoever....
Common sense tells me that provenance should in essence play no role in my enjoyment (and possibly the value) of a coin. Substance (i,e the coin...
Here is a sestertius and an as showing Sabina with the 'high' hair style. Would love to add a denarius with this particular hairstyle, but they...
Nice Sabina, Roman Collector:) It has a notorious 'robust' portrait, matronly as you call it. This is only the second example I have seen of this...
Nice to see you post, acanthite:). It has been a while. Beautiful selection 8 reales you have there. You have a good eye. I have not added...
One look was enough to condemn it, unfortunately. The planchet in particular is uncharacteristically 'flat' and the legends too wide. (Not that I...
Wow, great coin and congratulation are in order!:) (I know whom to go for advice next time I contemplate adding a new Vespasian to my collection).
