A nice stater and denarius. I sold my Boeotia stater many years ago and never replaced it.
I agree. Unless you're a high roller, willing to pay the price for a high end coin that you're not familiar with, out of sheer impulse, comfort...
I normally post threads on the ancients, and, to a lesser degree, world forum sites. However, I decided to post on this forum a silver medal that...
I really don't think of coins being out of my comfort zone, unless we're talking about a coin whose high valuation, and known record of fakes, as...
And I think that is why the tetradrachms of the Ptolematic kings are very similar. They stuck with a design familiar to merchants and the general...
Cool Hadrian tetradrachms, Donna. I wasn't aware that there was one with a mummy on the reverse, but I guess I was just too wrapped up in things...
Like your coin, this coin that I purchased, and awaiting delivery (a long-term prospect currently), also came from Sardes, a bit later than your...

I did purchase some large lots of Byzantine folles and other denominations, which average around $12.00 per coin or less, in terms of a single...
Thanks again.
No, this coin was slabbed without weight noted. I think NGC offers a lower cost slab without this information and their surface/strike grading,...
Regarding the second inquiry posted today, yes, please start a new thread. Tacking it onto this old one won't be very effective.
Very nice! I notice differences in the treatment of design elements between the two coins, such as hair style and throne. Both are Cohen 123...
Nice sestertius, Doug. Yes, I've seen this type of reverse on sestertii of Julia Domna. The denarius was one of four offered for $90 on eBay,...
Thanks
Since joining CT, my interest in Roman coinage has increased, from a secondary consideration to a higher level of interest. Normally I don't...
The Byzantines loved to add stars to some of their coinage. Here are a couple of folles of Justinian I. Byzantine Empire, circa 536-537 AD AE...
I do not own a Yun-nan dragon dollar, only a half dollar. However, I did come across this dollar from PCGS website:...
