Also: Just noticed that one of those coins (the first one) was featured in a History Channel documentary that originally aired in December 2001....
I think that would be an overstruck coin, this one Judaean over Roman (with portrait showing under): [ATTACH] NEXT: Flora coin showing plant,...
A couple Romas with winged helmets: [ATTACH] Q Caecilius Metellus AR Denarius (19.5mm, 3.91 g, 1h). 130 BCE. Ex Rindge Coll. [ATTACH] Antestius...
Great little fraction! I have Silbermünzen that kleine but not electrum yet. I am indeed on the lookout for the right EL 1/96 (or even 1/192) when...
I think EL counts! Being roughly half gold/half silver, I include little Electrum Hektes as part of my collections of both tiny Greek silver and...
There are a few other early-ish Imperial denominations. I'll let someone else share. One middle-RIC denomination that's easy to cross off the...
Are we still on "favorite reverse"? The reverse of this Republican Quinarius (101 BCE) is the first depiction of a bound captive and trophy...

I'm not sure I can see any major tooling on the Hadrian (beyond smoothing and other typical mechanical processing for a coin like that). But...
LAC didn't even bother to mention that Lanz 94 was the great Leo Benz (1906-1996) Collection! (Specifically, Part II: Roman Imperial I.) [ATTACH]...
I like the binders and printed pages for each one -- that's a good system. I've got some printed materials for my coins like that which I keep in...
