Thanks guys. I started collecting ancients prompted by a denarius of Vitellius I found metal detecting. This really got me going, and i tried to...
The difference lies in the edge device: in one variety it carries edge lettering, the other has a floriate design. Edge lettering seems more common.
Marshall, did you follow this interesting 1796 Draped Bust cent which ended a short while back. I was hoping not too many people would notice it...
Here is a coin that fits well in the category "well worn, not appealing, yet still interesting" A sestertius of Vitellius with reverse...
I am glad to see you found one you like, Mat, and I can see why. He does seem to have a very intense expression on his face, like he was...
I am sure most die-hard Large Cent collectors here are aware of this site for referencing and viewing large cents. For those who don't here it is...
Interesting discussion you guys are having. Randy, I like your Domitian, it has a nice even surface and an appealing colour. Nice coin. The...
That is a nice coin. Congratulations! Question: do copper collectors pay premiums for differing die states within a given variety? I could...

I have never seen a Salonina with that reverse. Definitely an interesting and desirable coin. On the subject of reverses, I am definitely in the...

Nice one randy! (and don't worry about the pictures - taking good one is an art which i have not mastered either)
I started off my roman collection focusing on bronzes, specially those of the 1st and 2nd century. Later, I discovered the denarii and I must...
Marcus Aurelius would rather have spent his time improving the administration of the empire, and the lives of his subjects - instead he was forced...
That is a nice Verus denarius, Mat. Interesting how his portrait subtly changes on his coins (specially the size and shape of his nose) Oh,...
