What a fantastic Valentinian II imitation! Especially for an AE4 -- is it actually as small as the original? As an enthusiast of Roman coins...
Hi Curtis, Wow, that's great feedback from your die catalog, and a very generous offer. I had actually been thinking of trying to come by and...
Right -- but that's with the "abbreviated name" obverse legend, from 194-195 onward. The tricky one is the first year issue, with the "full name"...
Here's my little 9mm, 0.65g imitative VOT & wreath type. The obverse is all I's (classic imitative!) but the rev may have some more characters,...
One more thing to love about your site! (In addition to -- for me -- the literature and FEL TEMPS)
Many thanks, that's quite helpful -- legend break on that issue is one of the things I was wondering about! I was aware of the RIC 50/Banti 20...

And, for those of us who don't focus on these but occasionally find a few in group lots, also the Maxentius, Maximinus, Maximinus II, Maximianus...
[ATTACH] I picked this one up because I thought the rev marks gave it an interesting symmetry with the obv, almost like a brockage/incuse. (From...
Or Steven Tyler!
Great example of a Clodius Sestertius! That's what I was thinking I would get, albeit in worse condition, based on the group lot photo (could only...
Many thanks! Video definitely helps with these thick (and darkly patinated) coins. (I'm going to re-photo this coin once circumstances are more...
Been quite a long time since I've participated here, and I'm sorry to return hat-in-hand, but I could definitely benefit from opinions from those...
