Still need to get me a Volusian...
Holy mackerel, or should I say, tunny fish :)
Wow... a winged, dolphin-headed creature... assume this is an electrum of Kyzikos? First time I've ever seen that one before...
Agree with @Ryro on the time period. Yours looks smaller than a true bracteate although it's the same style. It's actually a Hohlpfennig (German...
Very nice! Congrats!
I'm surprised that nobody yet has commented on those massive snail fossils you have on the bottom shelf - they are totally awesome! I have a few...
#1: Athena with owl reverse - style indicates that it could be an imitation of Athens, but this is a common coin pairing so this in and of itself...

I believe that a lot of these worn Augustan/Tiberian As coins were typically used by the legions. Usually you see the "SC" coins with Tiberian...
Fellow CT'ers, Just finishing up browsing EBay where our favourite seller from Munich has posted a ton of fakes (which he is selling as such)....
Welcome to CT Ancients, JimsOkay. The timing and price range are certainly in the ball park. You can definitely get an authentic Trajan denarius...

It looks authentic to me as well at first glance, although as per my previous posts, that's not always an indication that it isn't fake. Still, I...
Yes, I think that this is the same hoard which was found by German archaeologists in an industrial zone a week or two ago. Apparently the hoard...
Yeah, I had a hunch that this one was likely the fake type being sold (the picture looks familiar - @Ryro confirmed it), although at first glance...
CT Team, Heads up - this fake of a Brundisium semis is being offered up in a well-known Italian auction house. I've posted the image of the...
I usually go through EBay once a week, and check SixBid once or twice a month or so. That seems to work well enough for me. Most of the coins I'm...
Awesome coin and great writeup! Thanks for giving us a window into the early history of Florentine medieval numismatics!
My guess it would be a Triens, as it has the head of Minerva, but there should also be four pellets, either above Minerva's head or below the...
[According to RCV, "the quartuncia is the smallest denomination of the Roman bronze coinage, and has been briefly produced during the semilibral...
