I recently picked up a lot of four oddballs on eBay for $0.99 - the seller's photo was a bit dark, but what looked like an as from Hadrian seemed...
Congrats, Bing. I've been following your Legionary Quest and I'm rootin' for you!
Great portrait and reverse.
Very well done - you've included many graphics I have never seen before (and I've spent the past years scouring the Internet for Roman...
A very interesting post. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but don't know enough to contribute much. But I will say that when I was first collecting,...
I agree the OP looks fishy, but I am no expert. I'm pretty price sensitive, so I was very happy with this LEG VII for $13.39 via eBay. Usually...
I'd say you did pretty good just with the prutah. Nice score. I have no idea what the second one might be, although Judean is a good guess....
Some more wonderful Neroes - thank you all for sharing. It was interesting to see some of these can be had for fairly low prices - and it is nice...
Great write-up Justin. Earlier this year I got a dupondius that is very similar to your as - Roma seated rather than Fortuna (and issued early in...
Great post, Roman Collector, and nice commentary everybody else. I just recently got a Valerian that I'd been poking around getting information...
Thanks for sharing that, Roman Collector. I really enjoy those archaeological news articles, especially when they find statues (or coins). I...
I like your coins - sorry I can't help with attributing them, but I sure like looking at them!
I think this is an interesting question (and not dumb at all). Common or not, a sudden influx of the same type may indicate a hoard, and I find...
Nice coin and a great place to start with ancients.
Very interesting, David. I had no idea that poppies lurked in the modii. Sorry to say I have none to share. Your post did make me check my...
Thank you all for the help. Yes, I thought the reverse type was Mars initially, before I posted on Coin Talk. Indeed, as Ken suggests, Marcus...
I recently got a batch of four Roman bronzes for $0.99 which are better than you might expect, but no beauties for sure. Attributions have been...
Nice write-up, Julius Germanicus. And some nice examples all around. My TD Dacia sestertius is on a very square flan, characteristic of that...
I did get the threads mixed up. But I feel so much smarter now, as I did better on Zumbly's quiz. In both cases my answers were wild guesses....
That was fun, if embarrassing. I thought Number 10 was especially annoying - that guy totally looks like Philip the Arab! [ATTACH]
