Yeah, I thought was a great coin when I saw it previously (and over at NF). I wouldn't get it slabbed unless you really like them. (If you were to...
Very interesting coin with the radiate Domitian - as - Apollo/Helios on the obverse and Artemis/Selene on the reverse. (Possibly Domitia - as -...
Beautiful example! Hard to find ones with the face still intact. The best thing about overstruck Byzantine bronzes is figuring out exactly what...
In order: Trajan (can't tell from photo if it's just a rough example or possible cast), Caracalla (not Antoninus Pius), and Aurelian. "Caracalla"...
Alexandrian Billon/Potin Tetradrachms are great, but I've also been adding Drachms and other bronzes over time. [ATTACH] The AE Drachms are...
Ah, traveling for a few days or I'd check McAlee for you. I'll try to remember when home in a few days...
It's unusual. The weight is a bit off (doesn't fit 1/4 AV Stater). If genuine it would have to be one of the weird Sicilian AV Litrae...
Unfortunately, hard copies of Price are always in high demand & pricey. (Surprised it's never been reprinted.) Some people manage to find download...
Mine includes not just bronzes, but Provincial and imitative bronzes. For Nero, mine includes at least 3 or 4 Provincials to capture all the...
I have nothing to contribute on authenticity, but I'd imagine CNG went to some lengths to verify such a high profile coin, showing it around and...
For ancient coin fakes, what you're describing sounds like Forum's Fake Reports gallery which includes many thousands of forgeries of all types...
They often come with countermarks -- usually on Athena's helmet. (I collect countermarks.) Mine (below) are not the best examples (mostly from...
Great find for a Pick-Bin! I've got a bunch of $16 picks from an HJB bin from about 2014 I think... there were no Republican denarii in it though!
As @The Meat man commented, it's a type of Antigonos II Gonatas (277-239 BCE). Athena on the obverse & Pan erecting a trophy on the reverse....
If we're still talking about this Thorius Balbus with V control on the reverse there are 32 of them visible in just the screenshot in my last...
It's the first link I gave (processed notebook 19 for Crawford 300 to 399, since this type is 316/1):...
It's a control symbol. They come with letters at least A thru X (at least), which can find sorted in Richard Schaefer's notebooks (published by...
I love seeing all these bulls and how universally meaningful a symbol it must've been in the ancient world (albeit in various different ways)....
Well done! They make a fantastic set. Internet resources have taken over a lot of their functions, but clearly a lot of people still find Lindgren...
How to choose... I'll do one Cilician + a group of Thessalian ones that belong together: I'm partial to this one, an AR Stater of the Satrap...
