Those are great looking coins, Eduard. In a weird way, I sometimes feel that damage adds something to ancient coins - Venus di Milo without the...
I have a Julia Domna as (or dupondius?) with what I am pretty sure is a HILARITAS reverse. Rather crusty, but perhaps this one could profit from...
Yeah, I wasn't entirely sold on the description either. But I will say at first glance of the seller's photo, I immediately thought "Domitian"...
When I first saw this I thought it was an as of Domitian or something like that. Turns out it is a Caria, Tabae Pseudo-autonomous bronze from the...
Looks like fun to me. And the price is right.
Nice lookin' lots there Victor - some real "princes" in there. I know what you mean about slogs (and kissing frogs, metaphorically speaking, of...
Just got an oddball batch of five LRB and medieval hammered silver from eBay for $10.50 that I wanted to run by you. The lot was not very well...
What a fine lot that is. I am glad you shared - something about a lot of ancients that I really like. There are some real beauties here, 1, 4...
Ah rifles. Yep. Collected those too, but not really anymore. Old weird stuff - a Martini Henry, a Dutch Beaumont, some Carcanos. Most of it...
My first ancient was a Septimius Severus denarius I found at a local dealer's for $35 in 1987. It has the MARS PATER reverse, which I really do...
Great site, Victor. I had not seen that one. Many thanks.
Yeah, those Swiss counterstamped ecus are pretty cool. Bern and Vaud did them, as I recall, with the Vauds being a lot harder to find. It seems...
Thank you Victor. Yes, that's the one: RIC VI Alexandria 139b. It is in Wildwinds, but a gamma rather than an alpha top right (but that is just...
Holy moley that is complicated - the Tetrarchy era had so much going on politically and numismatically. Thank you for copying that out - I...
Thank you Roman Collector. The more I look at these, the more confused I got...
I just got this rather pretty Maximinus II Daia follis (GENIO IMPERATORIS, Alexandria Mint) in a lot of bronze stuff the other day. The photos...
Thank you Irbguy! That is really, really helpful. In addition to helping with the pearl/diadem issue, you showed me what a "stephane" is - I've...
I apologize for the lousy condition of this Faustina II denarius (I'm sure you all have better ones) - it got chopmarked at some point. But ugly...
I really like those ecus. Have a few myself, all pretty beat: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] My favorites are the ones that wound up going to Switzerland...
Very nice Parthian drachm you got there - I really enjoy these, though I only have a few. A while back Valentinian posted a Parthia Identifier...
