I've been on the lookout for ones of these for many months. They are somewhat plentiful but all have their issues, rather like the Nemausus...
One of two coins I picked up in the recent Pecunem auction. Last year I first saw this type while trolling for facing portraits in CNG's archives...
I'd like to have an online album for my ancient coins. I started uploading them to Forvm but am not happy with the display and functionality....
Not strictly numismatic but numismatic-related... I do a bit of jewelrymaking and metalsmithing and would like to make some earrings in the style...
Last coin purchased in 2013, just arrived. I'd like to get a tetradrachm but the price was right and it sufficiently scratches the bunny itch for...
From that mixed lot from Stack's, aka TIF's Folly. This was one of the few coins in the lot which was specified, although I'm confused about the...
This one is completely out of my realm. It was in a large mixed lot of Greek, Roman, and Byzantine coins. ~29 mm, 13.9 gm. Any idea what this...
I'm new to ancients and obviously haven't seen everything, but occasionally while browsing I stumble upon something 'new' that takes my breath...
I've been watching for a good example of this Athena-facing Klazomenai issue and nabbed this one last month. I have several Klazomenai coins...
Small Alexander the Great bronzes usually sell for much less. What is special about this one? Why such a high estimated hammer? From The New...

Well, it's been a very unpleasant month on a number of fronts but my day was brightened considerably when these arrived! A keen-eyed friend who...
A hemidrachm and drachm of Ahmadinejad Vadfradad II (well, he does rather look like him and it could be a relative...) Due to the influence of...
Except for one or two, I haven't looked closely at any of these nor attempted attribution. I'll probably do that over the holidays. If you see...
Halfway through a detailed attributing the whole lot, spreadsheet filling up nicely, stopped to take a group shot of some of the better Roman...
This one had me puzzled because I didn't know that coins this size could be called drachms... I was searching for a sestertius :oops: Another...
I've been signing up and bidding with bunches of different auction houses in the last few months. Admittedly, I rarely read all the fine print--...
From the 'TIF's Folly' mixed lot. I was happy to see these and will add them to several others I also got from Stack's a few months ago. All...
