New purchase at a local coin show. Nice looking denarius of Glabrio, Salus, BUT, the coin is significantly underweight. Everything I can find out...
You are definitely right about it being from Skione but I can only find tetradrachmas of ca. 16.9 to 17.0 grams listed and tetrobols of about 2.3....
I need some help on this one, a recent purchase. The silver coin came with only the tag, Greek Coin, Island of Kios. There is no inscription on...
That looks about right.
Well in addition to Justinian I , Heraclius, Constans II, and Constantine IV come to mind, having reigned long enough to have an ANNO XU. The coin...
Again I was able to pick up a couple of very small ae 4 size coins at the flea market. The one is another Theodosius I but this time the reverse...
At the risk of sounding paranoid, I think that cash offers me the opportunity to purchase items that I just as soon not have either my neighbors,...
Any smaller and that would be earring on FDR.
Right you are about it being Theodosius. Young eyes versus my, uhh , "veteran" eyes. But I think it may be the first Theodosius.
I picked up this AE4 (and that's a generous award) minim (minimus) at the flea market. Usually these things are so well worn and wretchedly struck...
Gallienus, inept or underrated? How about unfortunate. He did the best an emperor could do being dealt the hand that he was. Had he reigned two...
No damnatio memoriae for this guy.
I think I found it. Constans II, maybe with Heraclonas. IMPER CONST on obverse, M, Anno iii NEOS on reverse.
You may be right on the mint mark. I see the NI but thought the third letter was an "S" but that might some other kind of mark.
Anyone able to nail down the Byzantine follis, emperor, mint?
More than half the coins at my local flea markets are fake and I have learned not to tell the seller that there's a good chance his coins may not...
I did on Wildwinds. It's listed as BMC 42. It says "scarce" there but there seem to be a number of them on the Net though this one seems above...
I will enjoy them. Here on the East Coast the flea market search is the equivalent of metal detector hunt along Hadrian's Wall. Just finding $5...
Yes, it's definitely a variety of this coin. The partial inscription that I can read is the same as the COL PRI... . good call. I had no idea such...
I picked up six more coins from the same person as before at my local flea market. It's mostly low grade stuff but pretty good when the price is...
