4th coin will probably be Turkey or Egypt - more likely the former. Date of 1223 would fit well with Mahmud II, but I must admit it looks more...
3rd coin I am fairly sure reads "Republic of Macedonia". A quick look in Krause confirms it as a 50 Deni from 1993, brass and worth around 10...
Well I don't think the first coin is KM 306 - if it were the accession date would read 1327, but I am pretty sure it reads 1293 - which is KM 299....
OK - I know I have posted pictures of this one before, but I think it is my favourite overall. If there was a fire and I had time to get just one...
Not really my speciality - but I can tell you how to date. If you look at the OP first picture, and turn it the other way up, the accession date...
Hi Paddy, You are right! And thanks for the buddy invite just accepted. I noticed your handle a few days ago and wondered if we could have much...
Thanks a million for that Windchild - that is definitely what I have. As Doug points out, down to rather too many details to be comfortable with...
Thanks for that Ripley. The reverse seems to show a palm tree with a bird standing underneath - although it may be an eagle it looks more like a...
These are the "last of the best" from the auction lots on Tuesday. Still hoping someone will ID the Greek looking one from post #31 in this...
A couple of goodies: 1. I bought a job lot of foreign mixed at a car boot sale, for once genuinely unsorted. Among other gems in the lot - a...
I certainly agree with that Doug - the only redeeming feature was all the lots came from a collector recently deceased. (I know the auctioneer...
Sadly the pics have gone from the auction website now the auction is over. It was a Denarius with bust of Pompey the Great on obverse, and Neptune...
Yes - I was very pleased with those two. I ended up buying five lots in all - I have sorted through 3 now. Some junk, some very nice. Still not...
These two I think I have sorted - just sharing for the joy of it! M Fannius - 123BC M Cipius - 115/114 BC [ATTACH]
Thanks Bing for the ID on the Roman. The other coin is 23mm at its widest and weighs 6.9 gms.
This one is Vespasian I assume, and is in pretty poor shape, but what does the reverse depict? [ATTACH]
Ok I have been and bought some lots from the auction. Many I can identify, and I will show those in due course, but some I am struggling with. In...
Ah! Right - I see what you mean - I had missed that detail. I think my brain has strained enough on this one - I may return to it later in the...
Good to have a well-natured debate! Any reason why you prefer the RIC 288v to the RIC 272 Windchild? The 272 looks a better stylistic fit to...
This one looks to be a better fit in both portrait and mint - Lyons: http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/delmatius/_lyons_RIC_272.jpg
