I would be delighted to see a centralized, systematic source for these - you have my enthusiastic encouragement for such a project! I've been...
Thank you so much, QG! I really appreciate it - and was pleased to see my "guesstimates" were lining up with your expertise. Here are the...
Those are both lovely, RC. This reminded me of a similar Faustina I (RIC 1118 - I think) that I posted a while back - a puzzler:...
Nice coins (and dog). Pretty much all my Greek coins are modest! I particularly like that Antigonas Gonatas as it has a countermark on the...
I feel your pain - but I do like these Constans II's. Here are 3 I got in an unattributed lot. I think 2 of them are Arab imitations, but I am...
A very informative write-up, Sulla80. I learnt a lot! Those Cappadocian drachms of Ariobarzanes I are among my favorite - great portraits and...
Very disturbing. Not just counterfeit - but counterfeit bronze! It looks good, too - the fake-patination guy does good work, alas.
Thank you for your insights and that link - Bing's thunderbolt may be legionary, although the Fulminatas I've seen have been in rectangles. The...
Wow! I really like that. Central Asia has some interesting countermarks, but I don't have any in my collection (yet!).
I hope you don't mind me pulling up a post from the foggy past, Bing. But I recently got a Pamphylia Side AE, same host as your post, with a...
Thank you for posting this. I find these kinds of posts to be very instructive, although I am sorry this turned out to be a fake. I am rather...
Hmmm. These are interesting, to be sure, but with no expertise in the matter, I think I am in the "suspicious" camp. Die-matched fourrees seem...
One of the more expressive busts of Antoninus Pius I have seen. These Provincials never cease to amaze me. Impressive too how well zinc with a...
There are some real beauties in this post. I just got this one, so I am particularly beguiled by it: [ATTACH] Calabria, Tarentum AR Nomos...
Yes to that - good price for a nice coin.
Nice coins. I have a couple of sestertii from the 1000th anniversary celebration, a Philip I and his son Philip II. I realize weights for AEs...
I like it, chrsmat71, but I don't know what it is either... I did a quickie acsearch and did come up with a Marcus Aurelius / Horseman AE from...
Thank you RC for looking into this - the auction you linked is the one I found, and as far as I can tell, the only one findable in a basic online...
Just got a new Antoninus Pius dupondius yesterday and I figured attribution would be pretty simple. After a couple hours and a lot of confusion,...
Some very pretty coins in this post - and this is a pretty poor specimen of Pegasus with Bellerophon - with a chimaera reverse: [ATTACH]...
