Hello All, and Merry Christmas to everyone, or just a happy Sunday either way. I bought this denarius from Heritage last week. It was labeled...
In a kind of great/not so great set of events, a bunch of great coins came up recently that had me making hard decisions. Does my family eat this...
These are pretty cool. I have my collection of 1500-1676 denar that is pretty well fleshed out but that’s about it.
Very nice coin. The coins of BIII and BIV seem to arrive in rough condition. This is a very nice example.

I used to hate trying to figure out the Sassanian Kings on coins. Then some helpful soul pointed out that they each have a different crown (or...
@FitzNigel Very nice and historically interesting group of coins. I particularly like the Caracalla provincial. Nice detail, big bronze, great...
Very cool contest @Theodosius! It took me a lot longer than I thought it would to figure it out, lol. I blame bad eyesight though. Nice...
