I like how the pit (I assume?) on his eye happens to be right where the pupil/cornea would be, so he looks like he's staring downward at something...
Here is a handful of additions to my countermark collection. The TONZOY (far right coin) on a Trajan from Bithynia is one I've wanted for a while...
I have had many coins held at customs over the years while they requested paperwork from me and/or the seller to document their legality. I don't...
Interesting coin. The legend matches an RIC Solidus (albeit with SM LVG in ex). I would imagine that any Semissis is scarce at least -- especially...
That's an attractive one! Zeus abounds on Greek coins, an impressive Poseidon is hard to find. I don't have this one. But I've got some of his...
Hard to know from just the photos, but the "fabric" looks right for the type. Many of these (not all) seem to have the same kind of squared edges....
My tetradrachm is too embarrassing to show... My drachm is quite off- center on the obverse but I still like it. It's part of my sub-collection...
That's what's called an embarrassment of riches! And I'm jealous. I have one. It's one of my favorite types (the first "two captives & trophy"...
Another Macedonian Tetradrachm from the Roman Republican period: [ATTACH] NEXT: Can we get another Artemis? any period any denomination any metal
I hadn't thought of ONS, that's a good one. I am or have been a member of ANA, ACCG, and ANS. I've used the ANA benefits (online library) and use...
I'll go with the easy answer... Green: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Interesting coin! And good bibliographic info, @Marsyas Mike & @Kiaora , thanks for sharing. This is an interesting type. I like countermarks...
Thanks for sharing it. I won't get into the specific arguments (although, as a collector of numismatic "object biography," and someone who...
Love that multi-scoop! Here's one I bought mostly for the scoop (I wanted the type anyway): [ATTACH]
Beauty! I noticed that one and thought it was a really interesting style. I didn't realize RML was DiMarzio's book! Funny that he's publishing his...
It's very interesting to see the different opinions posted. I consider my "bibliographic collection of ancient coins" to cover two topics: (1)...
I usually call them "digital plate coins" in my notes. Keep in mind that RPC is also a print reference, so some of them may be published in print...
Interesting, panzerman. I don't remember seeing that type before. At a quick enough glance, it could be mistaken for one of the Boii and/or...
Very interesting: the CCF (2015) 195502 coin looks like a Fourrée (plated) to me. Comments in the thread suggested Limes, but usually those aren't...
Three more photos: By far the smallest of the 24 coins in this group lot, and probably my favorite. Looks much nicer than I expected from the...
