Thank you thank you thank you! Great post to begin with and a great help for my coin. I appreciate it! :)
Bringing this excellent thread back (thanks @Sulla80) because I just got a Nicaea prize urn for Septimius Severus (like the one @dougsmit shared...
Nice pickups; I love bargain lots like this, and they are a lot of fun to attribute. I do recognize that top one in your bottom pictures - I am...
Welcome to Coin Talk. Those 1783-dated Mexico 8 reales are often from the wreck of the El Cazador. Many of these have been salvaged since its...
Great Roman Republican Juno Sospita denarii in this thread. I happen to have the Antoninus Pius sestertius referenced in the OP. It is not...
It looks pretty good to me. Bulgaria is the source for a lot of fakes, but a lot of them look pretty obvious, or are very high grade rarities...
This is just terrible news. Since I do a lot of eBay bottom-feeding, I'll watch out for these sestertii showing up.
Always an interesting topic. Here's a thread I posted on the coins found in excavations of Sardis. LRBs circulating in a Byzantine-era town:...
I hadn't thought about looking at the reverse dies. Hmmm. Woodward Plate IX number 6: Juno with freakishly large forearm (Popeye the Sailorman)...
Reviving this interesting and informative thread as I'd like to share a half-baked theory on the Manlia Scantilla-Julia Domna alteration...
Well, I could be wrong, but I think I have another "not in RIC" example of the OP. It came in a very cruddy lot of AEs I'm working on, and I am...
That is a great-looking raven, @David Atherton Sometimes the raven shows up on Greek coins, like this common one from Sardes: [ATTACH] Lydia,...
Very nice, @robinjojo - I really like folles of this era and you got some handsome ones there. Here are two Maurice Tiberius folles from...
My latest heroic bust is a Trajan sestertius - at least I think there's enough pecs showing to qualify. I am a bit puzzled as to why this one has...
Although I don't have any measurements, or side-by-side photos at hand, I will say that after many years of collecting 8 reales, the ones minted...
Yes, I can see that now. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
There's quite a bit of information out there - a great place to find out more is from CTer @Valentinian site -...
Just in today, a lot of three asses issued for Antoninus Pius. These came from an eBay German seller, shipping time: April 29 to May 19, for...
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing this, Donna. Note the Lucius Verus I posted above from RPC features a palm branch as well as the KA....
That is lovely - I didn't know they came in Super Size like this for the D-E types. From eBay scrounging, I'd say all the ΔE types are scarce,...
