Wow is that weird -- and cool! Did it come with any description? (Findspot is probably too much to hope for.) A star above an animal (horse, ram,...
Most coins and planchets never had one because this process was only used at certain mints. (Different mints often produced flans in radically...
Splendid group of coins. I enjoy the combination of interesting historical types, notable provenances, and overall attractiveness. That is...
What is the size? For the very large ones (e.g., the 40mm, 60-90grams types) it is pretty unusual to see them without any remaining sign of the...
Not a video, but this series illustrates it pretty well with text and diagrams. Dave Welsh's (Temecula, CA) ClassicalCoins.com website no longer...
The circular scratches also appear in piercings (attempted or the edges of successful, since pierced coins were typically drilled not hammered)....
Nice additions. The date is hard to read from the photo (in the exergue below the seated Zeus), but I think it's possible you could work it out by...
Jean Hourmouziadis has interesting data on centering marks on his website, though I'm not sure if it's ever been published (recording whether...
German-language, published in Vienna, Austria. The article was written by Wendelin Kellner. I think he may have recently died (10 Jan 1931-13 May...
Oh, almost forgot. I have some new (last few months) additions to my 12 Caesars... Three new favorites. Chronologically... Augustus. From Samos,...
I would estimate 25-40 lawns (at $10 each)! I wish I had the collecting discipline (and work ethic) today that I had when I was a little kid. My...
Thanks! Possibly my favorite (or tied for it). When it was still in the Al Kowsky (AWK) Collection he made a post about it here:...
Yeah, I thought was a great coin when I saw it previously (and over at NF). I wouldn't get it slabbed unless you really like them. (If you were to...
Very interesting coin with the radiate Domitian - as - Apollo/Helios on the obverse and Artemis/Selene on the reverse. (Possibly Domitia - as -...
Beautiful example! Hard to find ones with the face still intact. The best thing about overstruck Byzantine bronzes is figuring out exactly what...
In order: Trajan (can't tell from photo if it's just a rough example or possible cast), Caracalla (not Antoninus Pius), and Aurelian. "Caracalla"...
Alexandrian Billon/Potin Tetradrachms are great, but I've also been adding Drachms and other bronzes over time. [ATTACH] The AE Drachms are...
Ah, traveling for a few days or I'd check McAlee for you. I'll try to remember when home in a few days...
It's unusual. The weight is a bit off (doesn't fit 1/4 AV Stater). If genuine it would have to be one of the weird Sicilian AV Litrae...
Unfortunately, hard copies of Price are always in high demand & pricey. (Surprised it's never been reprinted.) Some people manage to find download...
