@Monte Venier: Thank you for providing further insight into the area with your experience. It is fascinating. I actually am a big fan of US...
Yes, Constantinople is personified by “Constantinopoli” on the inverse of your coin. It was a dual celebration of Rome and the founding of...
Those are great coins to finish out the year, @Mat! If there was bronze disease on the Hadrian, I don't see any remains. Nice work!
@Shrews1994 What are you collecting, the commemorative issues, coins of Constantine I, something else?
@Al Kowsky That is an impressive Gordian III. I have no issues with slabs in general, but I think I would also want that one free as well....
I think you might be on the money with the obverse reading there. The problem with coins of Antioch is that the legends can start kind of...
As I have been collecting coins of Septimius Severus, I have wandered into the provinces as I have noted in my posts about Nikopolis ad Istrum and...
Nice coins everyone! I don’t have any confronted busts from Markianopolis yet. I bid on one in a recent auction and was outbid hilariously....
Thanks @Jochen! I’ll have to update my notes when I get home. This is very helpful. I just need to buy your book and be done with it honestly.
I've just been lurking for the past few months as I took a new job that has me working some long hours. Keeping up with cataloging coins as they...
[ATTACH] Well, since there is some renewed interest in this thread, I went and looked at some of the other coins from Nikopolis that I have added...
@Jochen Thank you for jumping into the thread! @dougsmit Your coins are always welcome in my threads. Hopefully I’ll have some more threads...
That’s a real winner there @Mat! That is a steal at $40. I don’t think it looks so bad at all. I can kind of see the black stuff in the devices...
I agree with @David Atherton in that the direct bidding is better and less chance for missing out on a coin because the two websites aren’t synced...
I like Leu. I also just bid on their site even though I see the updates through biddr as well so I will scroll through the auction there as well....
@Mat Thats a fantastic coin scratch and all. If that scratch keeps such an overall nice piece within your budget and out of others’ hands, so be it.
That’s a pretty nice example @Mat . I had a real devil of a time with these coins when I first started. Everyone looks the same the legends are...
I saw Jon Kern about a few days before this sale at a Chicago show. I’m hoping the coins were late of his collection not from the late Jonathan Kern.
Congrats on some really beautiful coins, Everyone who shared. It is very nice to see the VOT designs in silver after so many times in bronze.
So far I look for key letters when the legend is a little uncertain. Much like the way @TIF highlighted the X if you can narrow it down to a few...
