OK, not an earth shaking story here, but an interesting one, for me, anyway. I recently purchased a couple of common coins, Kingdom of Pontos,...
Thanks. I have never seen one like that (the one with Melkart on it). I see that the major on line consortiums on coins has several up for sale...
Yes, remember that the thirty pieces was money outgoing, not incoming.
That was great comparison to post. I think if I were owed thirty pieces of silver I would not mind some of them being the Demetrius tetradrachma....
Thanks for that link you posted.
Good questions you pose.
I, too have wondered about that, along with Tribute Penny of the New Testament being pretty much accepted as that of Tiberius. I don't think a...
I have here a couple images I kind of cheated on. I just posted a couple days ago a denarius of Caracalla, a pretty small coin. Some members both...

I am hoping some members who are good at determining genuine from fake coins can take at look at this coin and render an opinion. its provenance...
Thanks. As I look closer I think I see the letter sigma or epsilon between the legs of the eagle, if that means anything.
I recently acquired this coin. From its weight of ca. 73.5 grams and size of 41.2 mm, it is probably a Ptolemaic bronze drachma. For the life of...
I have never bought anything from Ebay.
AS for the dearth of subsidiary bronze coinage the reason may not have strange or esoteric. Recall the gap in US silver dollar minting from the...
I started collecting ancients in early 1961 with a nice denarius of Nerva costing $10 from a Philadelphia downtown department store. Since that...
