Congratulations, a very nice addition! Clear portrait, PERPETVO and CAESAR, which were my criteria for these. I've got a pair of DICT PERPETVO...
Ooh, I see why! That's a great looking group once you start looking. A great looking camp gate... A couple Procopius AE3s & Aelia Flaccilla AE2?...
Wait a second... Does that mean by now you have roughly 1,048,576 coins for every coin you started with in Year 1?!! :p
I don't think I have a Juno Capriotina (I love the goat bigas!) but I have Juno Sospita with the goat-skin headdress. (Sometimes I get confused by...
For more examples of the "filleted double cornucopia," also see how it's represented on the various reverse dies used on SC 2313. I'm not very...
Great looking snakes! Better than mine (from Ephesos): [ATTACH] I don't have L. Carbone's Hidden Power yet, but it sounds great. I've seen her...
How much do you look into group lots before bidding, or do you do it "impressionistically"? What are some memorable ones? How much can you find...
There is a long-standing debate about who is seated on the reverse (another debate is whether that's reverse) of this Divus Augustus Dupondius,...
@Valentinian has a pair of useful pages on these: http://augustuscoins.com/ed/ricix/type42i.html http://augustuscoins.com/ed/ricix/type42.html...
That is a nice addition! These early Sestertii can be very broad, so even with some wear they are usually impressive coins. My Nero Claudius...
That is a pretty amazing story! If you had not mistakenly sold the first one and returned to retrieve it, you would never have found the second!...
Nice examples posted above! Very interesting! As it happens, a very similar but more stylized diagram -- same field symbol but from Alexandria...
HAPPY FTR FRIDAY! Anyone have any new FEL TEMP REPARATIOs to share since June of 2021? (Or just not posted above.) Don't feel constrained to...
That's a great score! I've got exactly one denarius brockage, a Republican: [ATTACH] Roman Republic. L. Thorius Balbus, c. 105 BC. AR Denarius...
Domitian. Looks like an AE As. Virtus on rev. https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=domitian+virtus+%22ae+as%22
Good find! Interesting, I see that the lot doesn't mention him as consignor, but I wonder if the whole lot was his. He didn't seem to post that...
Also -- I'm curious -- how important is it that yours was found without the star? Is this one more, less, equally desirable? Since you note this...
Congratulations! One measure of a collection is how long it took to find some of the coins (or other objects) included. That must've been quite a...
I'm obviously a big numis-lit nerd because I make a collage for each new book. Here are two of my recent additions: 1. Sydenham's classic Roman...
That sounds like a great haul of 5th century minima! Gotta love those little AE4s! I'm planning to post more about this one later, but I'll throw...
