Very interesting. I don’t have the experience with tets that you do, so the bird and bull additions in the exergue (?) are very neat....
Hi all. I have been reading this so long I don’t remember how I started. But this nice lady does a great blog. If you aren’t reading it, you...
@Ancient Aussie Thanks a bunch! I have to give credit to @Mat because he spotted it first and told me about it. It was a long time wish list coin.
@ancientone That is a nice group of coins. The Tavium issue of Julia Domna is something I’ve tried to add and failed a few times. I’m jealous....
I’m not sure anyone will be surprised: [ATTACH] Septimius Severus, Denarius, VOTIS DECENNALIBVS AR Denarius Septimius Severus Augustus: 193 -...
There is a significant amount of discussion that in some cases at least, cities may share a traveling celator or workshop. Dies or coinage could...
That is an excellent Parthian @Mat. A lesser seen king at that. Nicely centered, which is kind of a miracle in and of itself and nice grade on...
I collect British India and I’ve seen a few of these 1/4 Annas from Edward VII with die clashes. I don’t know why it was happening but I think...
These are both pretty awesome @Mat. I love the crested helmet on Athena and Ajax on any coin makes it pretty sweet.

@curtislclay Thank you for the quick response. I will have to look up those old lots/catalogs and the Metcalf article. This just adds another...
That’s very interesting, @curtislclay. I was unaware of the recalculation of regnal years by Caracalla after Septimius’ death and the...
That’s a very interesting coin, @Mat. I also have not seen a year 19 for Geta. I honestly would have never thought there would be an issue...
I have but one to share. [ATTACH] Probus, Antoninianus, ABVNDANTIA AVG BI Antoninianus Probus Augustus: 276 - 282AD Issued: 277 - 281AD 23.0...
I tend to agree with @Valentinian and @red_spork here. Without demand, a coin can be unique but it may not have a buyer anywhere. I think the...
@hotwheelsearl Congrats man, on receiving such a nice lot. @tenbobbit, what a way to boost a fellow collector. @hotwheelsearl If you get stuck...
Wow, that comes out of left field! I always thought of these as pirate treasure coins and wanted one myself. That’s actually a lie. I wanted...
I don’t know if “half” from behind is a thing, but the coin is certainly nice.
That’s a pretty nice pickup, @Mat. Nice legends and reverse portrait.
