Sorry, the original picture was with a lo-res burner phone & hand loop (not the best way to obtain results, but what I had available with my...
Definitely not any scuz on the coin. At what point does a die chip become a different VAM? Also, the mintmark doesn't seem to correspond to any...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I'm not seeing a VAM that corresponds to this 1886-S. Am I missing it? Or...
$50. The VF price for a 1916 date. Figured it was worth a roll of the dice.
I picked this up the other day. The seller warned me that they didn't know if it was an altered date or not, and I decided to roll the dice....
I'm trying to attribute & appraise this denarius. Any help would be appreciated because, as I mentioned earlier, I'm fairly new to Ancients. It's...
Ah. Clearrrrrrly. I have enough trouble making out the 26 characters I learned in grade school. Was totally at sea here. Thanks! The previous...
How about this one? Another billon tetradrachm? Similar reverse, with Otacilia Severa: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Not sure of this one. Possibly a Diobol from Alexandria (Egypt)? Milne 123a is the closest I could find (it shows Claudius on the obverse). It's...
Bump
Looking for any more info on this. Closest I found was a listing on the Wildwinds site that mentioned a mule with a reverse of Severys...
I have several similar pieces. How do you distinguish between the Constantine II AE3s & Constantius Chlorus (especially if the obverse legends are...

Thanks for the move. I forgot we even had an Ancients forum, as little as I have reason to peruse it. My scale isn't accurate enough to get...
After browsing some emperors profiles, I'm guessing this could be Arcadius? If so, would this be a tresmissis? Or what other denominations of gold...
I'm cataloging an estate with a slew of Roman, Constantine, & Crusader coins, which are a bit outside of my usual focus. I recognized a few As...
Thanks. I'll check that out under the scope and see if it matches with better pics.
Yeah, they were rushing to make them and quality control apparently took a back seat to mass production. But, I like the die cracks as they make...
