Trajan did have fourree's - here are 2 of mine: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Well darn. I was hoping for an octodrachm! Thank you all for your input - I do appreciate it, even when the news is bad. All four of the...
I'm tellin' you, furryfrog02, today was like Christmas in September! As soon as I can get some goodish photos and attributions, I'll post the...
Just got this from my local dealer - $2 in his junk bin. It appears to be Egyptian, but I cannot figure it out. It is very thin for a Ptolemaic...
That is a lovely example. Nice strike, patina, etc.
Thank you for that reassurance Broucheion. I am very, very new to this kind of material (this is my first one, actually) - so I need all the help...
Thanks for sharing this, Marsman. Now everybody can see what a nice VIC DAC sestertius looks like! It is beautiful.
Thank you all for such a warm response to my non-coin post. And wow, what a lot of stamps featuring ancient coins. I had no idea. The albums I...
That is very interesting, Sulla80. It is hard for me to say whether it is Byzantine or an imitation - it has the same date arrangement as my OP...
Hope that title doesn't count as "click bait." Apologies in advance! :oops: My local library discards stuff all the time, including patron...

I got this by accident in an eBay lot and had a hard time attributing it. I thought it was Constans II or something from Heraclius. Apparently...
Maybe someday I'll get an actual Galba's head coin. Meanwhile, all I have is Nero's head with a Galba countermark (in Greek): [IMG] [IMG]...
Another nice one - I like to live vicariously through your beautiful gold acquisitions. Thanks for sharing!
Jamesicus, I am pretty sure what you have there is the P.P. countermark found on these moneyer As issues. They are usually found with the AVG and...
Nice countermarks. That OP has about the best Dolphin I've seen - most of them seem to be poorly-struck or worn. At least mine are. These...
Really enjoy the Top 20, jamesicus. I admire your self-discipline! I have about 600 "Top 20" whatnots, some of them on the floor, under desks,...
