Here’s one I added about a year ago to my Alexandrian Tetradrachm collection… a scarcer Claudius II: [ATTACH] Claudius II, AE Potin tetradrachm...
An interesting type. I have one but it’s. Much uglier and does not have the provenance. I can’t add anything but I like the toning and how short...
Hey Kenneth! We’ve got you here. This coin is one commemorating Constantine I! These were made by many mints and I can’t read the mark for this...
That’s a cool coin! And to think that much of Western Europe was making coins like this while the Byzantines were still plugging away with a lot...
So let’s get Saturday rolling. This one’s not new or expensive but rather a coin that shows you don’t need to spend much ($11 for this one) to...
I like these and have some fun ones I can post later. First a quick coin and question… What’s the hardest to find mint for these? We haven’t had...
Here’s another nice one from my collection, from Antioch. It has a nice little bearded captive too! [ATTACH] Licinius II Antioch RIC VII 29
Thanks Victor! Yeah I love LMCC as a resource but with this coin, I was a bit lost. Those RIC 6a coins stretch across several groups in the...
Thanks for the citation! I love finding a good rabbit hole to climb down. I’ll be reading through this for sure. Here’s a link to the text. I’m...
I really love your Julian. What's funny is my favorite detail is the hump on the bull which is covered by encrustations on my coin. That's a...
I think it's overrated. Common but expensive. However... if you're looking to tell a story (albeit one that's been told many times before),...
Hey all, Long time, no Saturday Night Free for all. I post here and there but coin time has been scarce. Figured I'd revive this thread for fun....
I really like the OP coin with Probus on horseback. I don’t believe I have one of those. Below is my favorite Probus on horseback coin. [ATTACH]
Awesome! That’s great information. Im guessing CHRB X is a book and not web resource. Is there a photo with the listing of the coin or hoard? I’d...
Thanks Victor, yeah this one was an eBay buy. The listing mentioned that this coin was from the hoard but I don’t know if that provenance is...
Here’s a fun Constantine II from London, with a full ring on both sides with flan to spare. Unfortunately the reverse die is a bit mushy. It’s...
Great page! There are a few listed that I still need to check off, and like @Curtis I’m still on the hunt for one of those illusive Trier FH...
It’s always hard to say from photos but it appears to be authentic. Roman coins in this type of shape from this period are actually fairly common...
That’s a great portrait! I agree that I’d leave it alone if you can’t easily just pick off the encrustations with something that’s not going to...
Oooh, those are rare! I have dreams of finding one of those unidentified in a cheap lot. Can we see it?
