I buy most of my coins on eBay, and I do get bronze disease from time to time, almost never mentioned in the description. My hunch is seller's...
Nice prutahs, @7Calbrey and @Carl Wilmont. Here is mine - I always find these a challenge to attribute, my paleo-Hebrew skills being...
My latest - and my first from Rhodes, I think. A heads-I-win-heads-you win coin; it is fairly common, from what I can tell. If anybody else has...
That is very interesting! Thank you for providing that information, @Heliodromus - I have updated my attribution accordingly and saved your post...
Here is a Trier VOT type from CTer @tenbobbit who sent me a huge batch of ancients last fall. This one is one of my favorites - for reasons I...
Great post as always, @Roman Collector - I'm especially excited about this post because I've been working on some Antoninus Pius Liberalitas...
Interesting post, as always, @Ryro In a collection full of low grade stuff, I hesitate to share this since it is awful even by my standards. It...
That is very useful information - thanks for posting it, @DonnaML I've been wondering why the one horse was looking back on these. Perhaps...

Well, it took me a few years, but I finally got a Julia Mamaea dupondius on a crescent; ever since I saw this post, I've been hankering for one of...
Thank you for that informative write-up, @Jochen1 I have two of the Antoninus Pius sestertius type in my collection - both quite worn, which made...
To compound the confusion, Hadrian started out with radiate dupondii and then dropped the radiate crown, replacing it with a laurel wreath, just...
Call me Ishmael! Or Mike, whichever works. Thanks for sharing your Faustinian White Whale with us, RC. I have three of these FII Concordia...
Very interesting @Valentinian...and in this case, perhaps a bit depressing. Below is a drachm of Alexander the Great (actually, post-Alexander),...
"Well-worn" pretty much describes my whole collection. Roman Republican denarii in the affordable range even worn ones have become scarce. I did...
