These are some nice groups of Antioch S-C bronzes. I've always liked these types -- nice Imperial style, but from a Provincial mint. Here are a...
At some point I need to add one of the Aegypto Capta style Crocodile bronzes from the veteran colony at Nemausus. (A better one, that is.) For my...
My Khusro II is too awful to show (and I don't know where it or its photos are) so I'm branching out: Here's my copy of David Sellwood...
Great architectural types, @Ancient Aussie !!! My favorites are my provincial Nero portraits (Thessaly X2, Lydia, Phrygia, Alexandria, maybe some...
You are right: They had it in the description on their own website but not on their VCoins listing (and all that counts is the listing where you...
Glad to hear you could cancel it in time! And congrats on the one you've posted here. Great coin type.
There are over 600 types of Apollo/Lyre types in RPC Online, so it wouldn't surprise me if a few dozen were missed by the editors. But, if not...
You're right, I don't see any mention of it. The weight (1.85g) seems extremely low for an official, solid silver denarius, though. (Should be...
No, not fake. If that's what it is, a fourrée is an ancient "contemporary counterfeit," and it's a normal, valid, collectible ancient coin. They...
Just FYI -- it looks like the denarius is plated / a "fourrée." I often find fixed price listings at CGB (seller of the denarius, it appears) to...
I usually see that used in Italian, Spanish, and French -- "avanti Cristo" (A.C.), "antes de Cristo," and "avant Jésus-Christ" for BC/BCE.
That is a really splendid Mytilene Hekte. Beautifully struck with great dies, but also a very distinctive design. I love all the variety and...
I suspect that's actually not a female portrait but Apollo. Being a god of music he often appeared on coins with a lyre (on over 80% of lyre types...
No Indian head! Just Theodosius/ Victory dragging a bound captive. Looks like Thessalonica mintmark maybe? Mine is from Cyzicus but otherwise the...
Those are great types! I still need to add at least one from the Parthicus Arabicus et Parthicus Adiabenicus series. As I understand (please...
Very interesting captives & Republican era trophies! Compared to the ones I just posted, the early Victoriati with Victory & trophy make an...
A pair of Republican Quinarii I’ve been wanting for a few years now...especially the first one… I finally found the right ones in Jacquier...
That's a really nice example of the paleo-Hebrew inscription, very well-centered and crisp. Great detail overall!! If it weren't ex-Forum I'd...
The type as a whole is not rare (I've got some low-grade ones). But it's possible that certain combinations of Mintmark * Emperor are rare....
I think that one is probably Trajan from Sephoris (similar design, different reverse legend, you can still make out the "ΣE" [SE] on the reverse):...
