Oooh! I recognize the odd bust on that one. The patchy silvering on mine obscures the details a bit… but it’s still pretty nice in hand. [ATTACH]
This reminds me of Cleverbot, an AI chat bot that’s been around for over a decade. You can chat with Cleverbot about ANYTHING. I’ve said some...

My avatar is of my old coin-assistant Oswald. He’d see me coining and come lay as close as he could (usually on top of my things as in my avatar)...
My guess would be the standard officina numbering of P=Prima, S=Secunda, T=Tertia... but I have not verified this guess.
Ah yes, I’d forgotten that the bull coins (and others) from Arles also were also unique in featuring an eagle. So, the eagle is likely an issue...
It seems that only coins of Julian, and only those from Arles, feature an eagle at the top of the wreath. I’d not noticed this detail before, like...
Coins are defaced for lots of reasons. Most times this damage is just from simple boredom, use as something besides a coin, or just damage from...
Hmm… if the hammer is the reverse, what if it was just that the die fell off the hammer before or during striking? I can imagine a Kevin, early...

So I recently picked up a cheap snack from the Bay. [ATTACH] The coin was attributed as a young-ish, post child but pre-beard Caracalla. After a...
That’s an amazing… medal/coin/whatsamadoodle you have there. It’s amazing how much depth can be conveyed in just a small amount of metal.
I have a lot of these, most in meh condition. Here's on of Maximian that I've always liked. [ATTACH] Maximianus - CONCORDIA MILITVM - Cyzicus -...
A quick rewind to a missed and fun figure… Procopius. …terrible photo… I need to reshoot this one. [ATTACH]
Great new coin! Here's my similar example but left facing tasty gazelle with XII in the ex. I'll help fill the Zoo further later. [ATTACH]...
