It's not like coins in private collections are immune to theft and melting. It happens all the time. I have a long section in my notes files just...
Weber is available online...check back in a minute and I'll edit it the links. EDIT: All 3 volumes (6 parts, 3x Text, 3x Plates vols.) available...
Nice one! That's a classic type from Classical Greece, early 4th century BCE (Maroneia, correctly identified in the comment above). Horse and...
I'm not sure that it's necessarily an Eastern imitation. This is what the official Athenian ones look like from the "late Classical" period, c....
Nice one! I've had a couple of these in the past, but unfortunately sold them both, and have never managed to replace them. Both of mine were...
Possibly, it's very hard to know with Provincials when you can't read the legends. But to me it looks like the legend matches Commodus'. I...
Nice Elagabalus Tetradrachms! (The OP coin & @Mat 's.) Alexandrian coins are some of my favorites. I've shown several of my "Elagabaloi" from...
Fascinating topics: The style & fabric of Byzantine coinage; how it varied across >1,000 years; and historical, cultural, and ideological reasons...
Great catch to notice the scarce legend! I remember reading about the Domitians ending in PONT from exactly those collectors in several places....
That's the same type as the CNG and Leu specimen above (or possibly an imitation of that type). Their reverse photo is just rotated. It's quite a...
Spectacular group! Note: I'd be very surprised if Catharine Lorber hasn't published your Larissa Drachm in one of her articles on the coinage --...
Very cool Tetradrachm! I've always wanted one of those. Great profile bust of Helios on @lordmarcovan 's Drachm. That's another type I need to...
Yup, same here -- or close, anyway -- Hoppin' John (minus the meat) with my folks
Splendid group. The Constantine homage to Trajan is such a fascinating bit of history, numismatic and otherwise. I also can't get over the one on...
The rare part is the reverse legend ending "ΜΗΤΡΟΒΙΟΥ," as I understand. (Especially w laureate bust of Caracalla.) Two likely specimens, one...
I'm away from my books right now to check elsewhere, but the main reason it's not in RPC is because Volume V, Pertinax to Macrinus (AD 193–218),...
Another fun little Greek bronze! You've got the general attribution correct. I haven't checked the catalog refs., but any var. might be about...
Great find for a Pick-Bin! Interesting that those little bronzes in the name of Philetairos may have been issued posthumously for a long time. I'm...
That's a cool coin! I really like these very large bronzes (Großbronzes in German) from third century Tarsus (and from other cities in Cilicia)....
Sicily, Akragas/Agrigentum (eagle/crab). There are many varieties but these will get you started. Philip I "the Arab" AE Sestertius, struck in...
