Hi everyone, As many of you may recall, I sent my extensive Parthian collection (400 coins) to CNG on consignment a few months ago. Well, I just...
I don't have any silver of Ferdinand and Isabella, but I do have this bronze: [ATTACH]
Second "coin" is a copy of the "Tribute Penny" (a denarius of the Roman emperor Tiberius). Third "coin" looks like it's based on the Persian...
That is a beautiful coin, and I (like everyone else here, I imagine) would be proud to have it in my collection. Congratulations @Sallent on your...
Here's an obol of the Parthian king Orodes II (57- 38 BC), 10 mm diameter: (not a great photo, but it's hard to get good focus on such a tiny...
Nice coin, @Deacon Ray ! I have a fondness for Vespasian- he's always seemed to me to be the most approachable (on a personal level) of the "12...
Nice write-up @Sallent ! Here's an Elagabalus I posted a couple of months ago, a provincial AE from Berytus (modern Beirut, Lebanon) with reverse...

Very nice coin, but... are you sure that's not Bob Ross on the obverse? ;)
Thought I'd share my latest coin, a Parthian obol of Orodes II. [ATTACH] Parthian Kingdom. AR obol (10mm, 0.52g). Orodes II (57-38 BC)....
@Bob L. : Very nice group of Parthian tets in the OP! Of course, if anyone on this site would enjoy a large group of very similar Parthian coins,...
Happy birthday! I have a few Trajans to share (well, I will share pictures, the actual coins stay with me ;) : [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
If I were forced to guess, I would say it was Roman, and based on a subjective examination of the portrait most likely from either Vespasian or...
My favorite sestertius overall is probably this Trajan: [ATTACH] The reverse features Trajan presenting Parthamaspates as his client king for the...
@Carthago : Sadly you are correct, the type specimen (first one scientifically described) of Spinosaurus was destroyed in WWII when a stray bomb...
Well, coprolite. I got hung up on the portrait (which does look more like Elagabalus' than the much more elongated face of Ant. Pius from his...
