Geta as celebrating the victory in Britain: [ATTACH] Geta Æ As (210-212 A.D.) Rome Mint P SEPTIMIVS GETA...
I have a few of these, all low-grade, and yours looks okay to me, judging from the photos. Some views of the edge might be helpful. [ATTACH]...
Welcome to Coin Talk, JJoyner. That is a fine looking Roman tetradrachm you have and I agree with those who suggest to just leave it as is. One...
Nice cornucopias. I have that first one from Phyrgia, but not nearly as nice as the OP: [ATTACH] Laodikeia, Phrygia Æ 20 (c....
A very interesting discussion, and an impressive degree of research. I'd never seen that wild-hair version. I have one of these - to me it...
Nice one, RC. I have a similar one that is even "smoother" (this is not a self-compliment!). It is so smooth I couldn't really attribute it....
Just in from a small batch of eBay tetradrachms, my first Tacitus tet. I haven't attributed it yet - going by TAKITOC. I like how the...
I have a couple Faustina I's with Providentia reverses. They are both pretty horrible. The AE (RIC 1163B?) appears to be a "rare" variant,...
Here's that eagle reverse but with a Geta portrait: [ATTACH] Geta Assarion Æ 16 (198-209 A.D.) Moesia Inferior Marcianopolis Π...

Faustina II babies! One of them Commodus, maybe? [ATTACH]
Some nice Germanicuses in this thread. How's about a Provincial? I rather like the "Julio-Claudian" portrait on this one: [ATTACH] Germanicus...
I hadn't been thinking half follis, but you may be right. The weights in this era are so "everywhere" I'm always in a muddle. Thanks for the...
Thank you for the input, catadc! I was thinking Carthage too - if only because of the "C". Byzantines are fun, but confusing.
My Byzantine countermark/counterstamp collection doubled this week with a lot from eBay. They are all Heraclius so far, SB 882 and SB 884....
Here are a pair of Faustina II sestertii with a mess of kids - she looks busy! TEMPOR FELICI (RIC 1674 - stephane and no stephane, I think):...
I'm sorry I missed those days - I started collecting in 1987, but went dormant around the turn of the century - I was on eBay then, but the...
Very interesting, RC. I have this coin - mine is pretty rough, but the obverse legend is sorta there - I could definitely see how this might be...
