Then my Denarius (still in the mail) should also be of that type (like all Venus Victrix reverses): [ATTACH] [ATTACH] The portrait on my...
Thank you everybody for sharing your opinions! True, but it still has helped me a lot in the past to uncover and return some rotten tomatoes in...
I´m no expert, but this somehow looks wrong to me. I would not bother if it was just cleaned, but the surfaces just seem to be too even ... So...
One of my nicer Sestertii (Auction Jesus Vico 08.06.2017, lot 574). I cost me less than I expected: 350 Euros plus commission and postage......
My Hostilian (as Augustus during the short time of his joint reign with Trebonianus Gallus) belongs into this category as well. To keep my old...
Your Orbiana Dupondius IS a beauty! My Sestertius (one of my few patinated bronzes, by the way) came in the same price range: SAL BARBIA ORBIANA...
273 actually... But I don´t regret it at all (I don´t bother about the reverses really) :)
This could have been my best Sestertius obverse, if it were not for those pits. At least they do not spoil the high relief portrait... L AELIVS...

Should wear not lead to a convex shape eventually? It would look more suspicious if the center of the reverse was worn off more than the legend...
As there are no known genuine roman mint bronzes of Otho, this might be the closest thing there is to a realistic portrait of his on a bronze...
That is a great Orbiana!!! Mine looks worse AND I paid more for it... My favorite middle bronzes do fall in this price category: Antonia...
Thank you for sharing you opinions on this one. As the votes seem to be evenly split, I will have to make an emotional decision. I think I´ll...
I would not have doubted this Sestertius´ authenticity if not David Sear had written to me that it looked "a little suspect" to him as far as he...
