News to me - thanks for posting it.
Yeah, I am a little puzzled - the lettering is kind of mushy/blundered on mine, so it doesn't look much like the "dot ΔSISC," but that dot (which...
Thank you both for your assistance, furryfrog02 and Victor. I appreciate it.
Hope it's okay to dig up another old thread, but Bing's Carrhae from '16 helped me identify this very poor specimen from a harshly-cleaned lot of...
Recently picked up a lot of harshly-cleaned Roman stuff, which I've been having fun trying to figure out. This Valentinian AE 3 is the nicest of...
Nice find. I like that it is both unlisted and an attractive specimen as well. Sorry, but I have no idea who to report such things to.
I have regrets all the time, but not that OP - I agree with Cucumbor that it looks iffy to me - that was eBay, wasn't it? I am always on the...
This is an interesting thread - I thank you BenSi for creating it. This era of Byzantine coinage somewhat baffles me, and this was helpful. A...
Nice coins, everybody. I have a few Postumus antoninianii. This is an ugly one I felt sorry for on eBay - it was a One Cent auction and I was...
As for mis-described eBay listings, this might be my best find recently, a Herennius Etruscus Æ 25 from Rhesaena, Mesopotamia. I resurrected an...
Nice coin Gary. I have an uglier one - which I also got on eBay a while back in a lot for $7.19. When I was trying to attribute it, I had a hard...
I'm new to the Alexandrian tetradrachms, but I have to say that once I got a couple in hand, I was really impressed. You all have some really...
I really enjoyed this dream sequence. I dream about my local coin dealer, something that would no doubt make him uneasy. In the dream, he has...
A very useful thread. In the course of bargain-hunting, I've accumulated some fakes, some of which I have shared elsewhere. Here, for the first...
I really enjoyed this thread - these RR AEs are quite new to me - I just got my first big one last week - a pretty poor specimen, but 28 grams for...
Good point on the grammar, Doug - a few years back I got into early printing - 16th-17th century stuff. It is amazing how "ungrammatical" the...
Actually I think the winged iguana shows some definite artistic flair.
Thank you Sulla80 - I am glad to say that the Lucilla came that way, and that I wasn't the one who smashed it. It holds together - and as far as...
I have a few broken ones - they can usually be had at a deep discount, and if there are significant amounts of lettering or devices to be seen, I...
Nice coins and interesting thread. I have a Julia Domna sestertius with Cybele, rather worn. As Bing suggests, the lion needed some work:...
