Even if I am 'not into' provincial roman coinage, I can well recognize that is a very appealing coin with well executed portraits and good surface...
Nice, sweet portrait of Lucilla. The reverse is endearing too. As you say, a scarce coin in silver. Most are bronzes.
I can only say, fantastic! I hope you can spring for that 4 reales Carlos III. Much, much scarcer than Carlos IV 4 reales. I don't believe I...
Very Interesting, Bing. Thank you very much for the information. I did not know the difference was in the hair. I was looking for a mintmark or...
That is quite a story, Derick. I am glad you managed to find the package finally. I guess you had a quiet word with the cleaning lady to be...
Another nice one! How can you tell this Antoninian was minted in Colonia?
Boats? I love them on coins. That is a nice Hadrian galley, Whiz. and happy birthday! Here are some of mine.[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]
I finally found my Aggripina with her donkey. I must say though, on this coin the donkey looks better than Aggripina. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Many thanks for your comments. The interesting thing about the Rhode Island piece is that although described as a medal, some appear to have...

Some scary depictions on some of these coins! But steve's man-headed bovine tops them all. That one is weird. I don't have any scary coins - but...
Hi TIF, yes, I'll be there both days. I have my eye this time on some german coins, however, not ancients. The Frankfurt Numismatica show is just...
That is a nice coin, Bing, a type I had not seen or noticed before. Very interesting motif too, with the she-wolf. Regarding 'wifely' approval...
Yes, I was thinking about that, too. I wish there was a way for you to obtain them outside of the country without too much hassle and extra cost....
A very nice example of the type, and one I have still to add to my collection. Nice one, steve.
It is a good example, and in about VF+. Maybe a little better. I do agree, though, it is expensive for the date considering 1807 is one of the...
