Here is my latest attempt to identify the couple dozen ancients that I haven't been able to figure out. Sometimes I go through the pile and try...
Yours does look authentic, I'd agree. As for serrations being "part of the dies" I think there is some debate on this, with most sources I see...
I would agree that the one with the big head is a cast copy of an ancient, so good for jewelry. The good news is that the other one looks...
Nice coin. I recently got a wretched one (fourrée) for cheap and though a fourrée, it still had the serrations (since the photo, I've cleaned up...
Nice coin, @cmezner with an exceptional portrait. Afraid I can't help with the attribution, but this one is from Ankyra, from the time of...
Closest thing to a real face on a Justin I in my collection - [ATTACH]
Here's Apollo relaxing with his lyre - a IIII (not IV) and a V. Interesting to see Gordian has a moustache and sideburns on the earlier one...
Very nice! Much better than my former avatar: [ATTACH]
Glad it worked out. I've had this sort of thing happen to me on eBay before (though not on a slab) - generally it is from dealers who handle a...
Interesting "hog" you have there @Volante . Severan silver confuses me - weights seem to run all over the place (compared to Antonine silver)....
Nice slab. I got this one out of my local dealer's junk bin for $0.50 (!). I was thinking about getting it slabbed...G4 or Lousy1.2? [ATTACH]
Nice coin @Montmercure - although I cannot help you in your search for additional information, by chance I recently obtained a coin from Termessus...
An interesting type indeed. Here's the sestertius version: [ATTACH] Trajan Decius Æ Sestertius Rome Mint (249-251 A.D.) IMP C M Q TRAIANVS...
Another very interesting and informative post, @Jochen1 - it took me getting some help on NF but it turns out I also have an Ambrosia from...
I had no idea that the Commodus Janus temple was the same (simplified) as on the Nero AEs - very useful to know! Thank you for sharing that! A...
That's a nice-looking coin you have there. This is a kind of confusing series because the Romans imitated the type extensively. Although I am no...
It took me a long time to figure this one out - it came in an eBay junk lot and I am feeling really lucky. I think it might be a die-match to the...
Maybe I found it? RPC has a countermark database that I am not especially good at navigating, but I found a laurel in an oval countermark found...
Nice! As @Bing suggests, it does look like a Victory...but I'm not sure. Check out these threads - the OP posted in this first one really looks...
Digging up this thread because I got another Minerva countermark for Antioch by Domitian. This one is on a Titus host, which appears to be...
Separate names with a comma.
