I don't have a photo of it, but I have one of those Cappadocia countermarks, not as nice as yours. As for the un-countermarked one, I just...
Thank you all for your assistance - @Ryro and @Ignoramus Maximus - that "wheel/spoke" suggestion was helpful - although I still haven't found any...
Usually I don't bid on a countermark unless I have some idea what it is. Unless it is going cheap. Then I buy it anyway. This one baffles me....
You're right about the trophy on OCRE. This puzzled me, so I dug through my records (whenever I attribute something, I save the sources I find to...
Congratulations. Nice collection you've assembled - the information page is quite impressive. Those SOLI INVICTO Constantines are kind of...
Another centaur like Donna's - my only centaur. I'm a Sagittarius, so I feel I should have the one with the bow and arrow - what in the world did...
This one took me a while to figure out - the hammer was obvious, but that thing is a chisel on the obverse. The link @Jay GT4 provided was how I...

Over the past couple of years I have followed the interesting and informative "other mints" posts for the Severans. I am happy to report I just...
Great write-up Donna. The limes mystery is an interesting one; I have nothing to add, but the "military scrip" theory makes sense to me. As...
Interesting and informative post, RC, again making me just a bit smarter on a Friday. :happy: However, I am still not smart enough to keep all my...
Here's a raunchy Trajan fourrée denarius with a crumbling edge and lots of exposed core. Nasty! :yuck: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Trajan "Denarius"...
Here's a rarity - a Gordian III antoninanus with a lot of circulation wear. My local dealer doesn't like low grade stuff, so he had it priced at...
This is only my second "joint reign" antoninianus of Gallienus and I was surprised how respectably struck and designed it was - almost Trebonianus...
I appreciate how you share your disappointments, @hotwheelsearl I buy lots of lots on eBay and my "strategy" (if I can call it that) is to make...
That is a very nice example; I haven't seen very many of these. I have one as well, not so nice: [ATTACH] Roman Imperatorial Denarius...
