When you think about it's pretty amazing that $10 can get you a decent, 1,700-year-old coin of Constantine the Great, but only a somewhat worn...
Nice Constantine. I like the portrait! The hole, if it detracts from the coin's aesthetic value, adds historical interest. Obviously the coin held...
Couldn't possibly be lead, could it? It's hard to judge from the pictures but it almost looks like that kind of white patina. How consistent was...
[ATTACH] Next: another LRB from Lugdunum
Marc Antony type?
Nice additions! I particularly like that Aurelian tetradrachm - for some reason, it's very difficult to find late Roman-Alexandrian tets in nice...

Nice coin. It was on my watch list on VCoins. ;)
Here is another coin which, although not my latest purchase, is one of the latest I've properly photographed. It's my favorite ancient Chinese...
I just got in this recent auction win. It's a continuation of my collection of Roman Emperors and my first Commodus coin. His coins can be had...
You're still on theme! I chose to continue the "coin you want to upgrade" and it looks like you did too. We're all good. :)
For $60+ I couldn't resist a portrait of the deified Alexander, but it's not the nicest coin. Someday I'd like to upgrade it - not necessarily to...
