I enjoy these heavy Anastasius Folles. Here's my favorite: [ATTACH] Byzantine (Eastern Roman). Anastasius I Æ Follis (32mm, 18.76g, 6h), struck...
Thanks for sharing the NCS link, I hadn't looked at their services before. (Though I saw them doing shipwreck coins on a tv show once.) The big...
I wouldn't have ever referred to myself as "a coin dealer," but maybe I would've once qualified as a low-end "vest-pocket dealer." I make the...
Yup, once you've seen them, quite recognizable as the medium size bronze from Aeolis, Kyme. Here's one I have photographed because I can't find...
Lol, these are a great reminder that there is a fine line between the statuesque physique of a Greek god and that of a space alien! A few years...
Some new captives & related coin types. If there are any corrections or anything I should know, please don’t hesitate! [ATTACH][ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
I actually have some embarrassing Nerva's, but I give myself a pass for Nerva: I collect Roman "captives coinage" and, I believe, he is one the...
Aha, I knew it! Since you posted the previous Maxentius-captive-Drost-"plate coin" when I saw the banner headline I watched this one closely. (I...
Congratulations, a very nice addition! Clear portrait, PERPETVO and CAESAR, which were my criteria for these. I've got a pair of DICT PERPETVO...
Ooh, I see why! That's a great looking group once you start looking. A great looking camp gate... A couple Procopius AE3s & Aelia Flaccilla AE2?...
Wait a second... Does that mean by now you have roughly 1,048,576 coins for every coin you started with in Year 1?!! :p
I don't think I have a Juno Capriotina (I love the goat bigas!) but I have Juno Sospita with the goat-skin headdress. (Sometimes I get confused by...
For more examples of the "filleted double cornucopia," also see how it's represented on the various reverse dies used on SC 2313. I'm not very...
Great looking snakes! Better than mine (from Ephesos): [ATTACH] I don't have L. Carbone's Hidden Power yet, but it sounds great. I've seen her...
How much do you look into group lots before bidding, or do you do it "impressionistically"? What are some memorable ones? How much can you find...
There is a long-standing debate about who is seated on the reverse (another debate is whether that's reverse) of this Divus Augustus Dupondius,...
@Valentinian has a pair of useful pages on these: http://augustuscoins.com/ed/ricix/type42i.html http://augustuscoins.com/ed/ricix/type42.html...
That is a nice addition! These early Sestertii can be very broad, so even with some wear they are usually impressive coins. My Nero Claudius...
That is a pretty amazing story! If you had not mistakenly sold the first one and returned to retrieve it, you would never have found the second!...
Nice examples posted above! Very interesting! As it happens, a very similar but more stylized diagram -- same field symbol but from Alexandria...
