Just worked up this little AE from Selge: [ATTACH] Pisidia, Selge Æ 14 (c. 200 - 10 B.C.) Bare head of Herakles to right; before, K. / CΕΛΓΕ...
Nice lookin' coin, Brian. I found some issued by Perseus, but the horse isn't prancing like yours. Close, but not quite there?...
If my coin is showing the "goddess" Bevis, it will my #1 favorite coin in my collection. :woot:
Not sure this cruddy little thing is worth a thread, but it has been puzzling me. I've been chatting with @Claudius_Gothicus and it got me...
Well, I still like the OP a lot. Since it was posted, I got one too - not nearly as nice, however (with an iffy attribution): [ATTACH]...
Unique? Maybe? Sorry to keep posting this, buy I am obsessed; spent the last hour or so puzzling over it. I cannot find a match, but I am...
Interesting post...the "NE" caught my attention because I have this countermark that I have never been able to track down. It might be Roman...
Great coin, and enjoyable, if postally bewildering, story. I was born and raised in Indiana. I have visited London. Believe me, there are no...
Fun thread with lots of interesting coins. Do I win the prize? Lousiest-looking coin, but the most emperors - three of 'em standing on the...
Perge! What a weird coincidence, but I've been working on the three unknown provincials that I recently posted. One of them, so I found, is...
Well, I did some more digging, and came up with a clue for the Artemis AE above. I tried searching for Greek cities with two N's in the name....
Nice fat Perge, @hotwheelsearl - and nice photos of the locale too. As for the price you paid, heck if I know - but you got a solid provenance...
Thank you all for such interesting comments and for casting your votes - it was my first Coin Talk poll. I too find grading of ancient coins to...
Slabs are something I mostly ignore when cruising the depths of eBay - I have nothing against them in general, but they always are priced out of...
Yeah, I agree - the artistry is a bit crude, at least by Greek standards. My guess is it is from the hinterlands - Thrace? Or an imitation of...
Until I found your thread here, I was so confused by that portrait! Sometimes these older threads are so well-done, and so helpful to me, I...
Bingo! Thank you so much - that is a dead-ringer for mine. Good eye! :cyclops:
Yes, sort of. All I can find are Septimius Severus examples with Asclepius - but they look a lot like mine. Maybe I have the wrong emperor?...
This proved to be a very helpful thread to me today, thus the bring-back. Working through a big lot of Roman, etc. stuff from eBay, I thought...
Just got in a big, weird batch of Roman imperials with some odd-job provincials, Greek, etc. included. I am really having fun with the...
