@Valentinian I agree, that is a hearty green patina on your Macrinus! Very attractive! See your pm’s also.
Yes I agree @Gavin Richardson she does look considerably older. Considering that the coin is from after the death of Severus maybe you are right....
@Severus Alexander and @Alegandron Wow, both excellent and diverse groups of coins! Too many to really pick out winners even though the silvered...
@dougsmit Those are great coins, ones I was unfamiliar with until your post. They are interesting, especially because I wonder how “lizard...
I’m not certain what the error is. Can you point it out to us, @ominus1?
@Collecting Nut Thanks for the compliment. I am glad to see other members get excited for these coins too. Seems like the bronzes get left...
That is basically where I was. High bidder for three weeks then I increased my max to plus four units and still lost miserably.

Well, Bizarre Love Tetrarchy never made the charts, so you get what you get. Also, there is what could be a triangle involved, but that comes...
@dougsmit That’s a really great Adventus, Doug. The detail in the bust, particularly the helmet, cuirass and shield is really top notch. I am a...
...actually, The Retrograde Letter, but "The Scarlet Letter" sounds way more interesting. So I bought this antoninianus of Probus as I usually...
I really like the reverse imagery and the clear legends on the obverse. Seems that so many of the legends on the Alexandrian issues do not make...
@Bing That’s pretty neat. Good times too saving on auction house juice. I would have jumped on that coin too for $18.
