@lordmarcovan is out of his depth here. I'd have said they don't immediately look wrong to me, but I would have immediately followed that up with...
Wonderful finds! Are you eyeballing these, or using a metal detector?
It seems it was, judging from his coin portraits. And Maximinus Thrax had a very pronounced chin. Galba always seems to have a grouchy...
With such a relatively small collection and but a tiny sampling of ancients in it (and even less of them Roman), it's easy to post my favorite...
Oh, snap! I just noticed that Macrinus, too. Check out how crisply struck that thunderbolt on the reverse is! Looks like a 3-D silver insect...
The Caracalla galley is the one that did it for me! In fact, I agree with @Ancient Aussie completely. Another honorable mention for me would be...
Having duplicates is not the worst problem or mistake in the world. :)

Not all of us can. But the main thing is to buy the best stuff you can afford. That's the nice thing about this hobby. Within any budget from...
Well, looka here! New member in one of my threads got a Doug "like", though he expressed it in his post and didn't use the "like" button. When...
No, because lowball Registry collectors shoot for the PO01 grade without damage. Only natural wear. That coin is so bad it's actually kind of...
Yes on both counts. Need to see full pictures and have some indication of what you think you're seeing, there.
Pretty colors, though the toning, particularly on the reverse, is a bit too mottled for my personal tastes. (I know lots of people like this kind...
