Beautiful medallion. It copies an extremely rare medallion issued for Postumus in 267 AD, of which only three specimens are known. They have a...
Nice portrait! Actually the first coin you posted @JayAg47 is a SPES PVBLICA reverse and not a SPES AVGG, which makes it a Mairat 795 I believe....
Indeed, when it comes to the mints of the gallic empire it is agreed that the main mint was Trier and that Cologne was probably (re?)opened by...
They are indeed only different engraving styles. Each mint had its style, kind of, but each engravers had also his own style and was more or less...
Hello, The question of the Gallic mint under Gallienus has been widely discussed and was a hot topic. It can be a bit confusing at first. It is...
Edit : sorry.
Interesting thread! Thank you. Typos on barbarous radiates of Tetricus are numerous, but here's a blundered legend on an official one : VIAORIA...
I agree with @ambr0zie on the second one. The first one is indeed Probus, like svessien said. I can't read the mintmark properly, but it is...
Another unusual shape that has not been posted yet, even though it is quite commonly seen. Those are often called "Ming" knives, but also "Yi"...
I agree. Indeed, AVGG is often engraved AVCC on those imitations and a mirror legend can happen. Although there aren't any PAX AVGG for the...
In my opinion it could be official, but clipped. See how the die is much larger than the flan. Also, the dark colour looks like tarnished billon...
Nice coins here, Victorinus is not easily findable with a full silvering. Here is a nice Gallienus that has most of its silvering left. You do...
I usually ID coins quickly but I had to ask for help for that one, which stayed unidentified for two or three years. It was before in my father's...
I was following this auction and watching this lot as well. Gave up very quickly. Funny enough, it was already listed on vcoins while the rest of...
I like to match the "barbarous" with the official one. Here are some imitations coupled with their official model. [ATTACH] Tetricus I, LAETITIA...
I'm pretty sure it's most likely to be a small nummus from the 5th of late 4th century. Valentinian II, Honorius, Arcadius or close... Some figure...
[ATTACH] This seems to fit. Terrible and devastated obverse on this double sestertius of Postumus. What made me buy it is the fact that the...
[ATTACH] A splattered winged horse. Next : another coin with a blue patina or blue encrustations.
A bit late, but thank you very much ! :woot:
Not an old coin and an old tune per se, but they are fitting, and they do feel old, even if they are only one year "old" now. About the coin :...
