Many people claim otherwise, including at least some professionals. I'm in a hurry, but just searching "bronze disease" and "contagious" I find...
Aha -- this actually seems quite rare and special! If you try to find a Galba Denarius with Pax reverse, it won't be easy. There isn't one in RIC...
Aha, I've got one of those! (Actually a pair, this is the better one, I think.) I love this type but don't think about it much anymore because...
My understanding it that @RichardT is correct. Everyone knows it is a chemical reaction, not a biological process. (Other fields of...
Wow, some cool coins just posted! Thanks for revising this thread, @Sulla80 , these are really interesting. Especially for the cross-cultural...
Just so you know: I'm really mad at you for making me remember!!! :mad::D Long before the print catalog arrives in the mail, Harlan J Berk sends...
Great coins! I love these Ilkhanid & other Islamic bilingual coins (and trilingual, depending how you count), especially that they have Uighur...
I don't see BD on those coins. Hard green deposits on one, porous surface on the other. That porosity is, of course, caused by corrosion, but not...
Wow that's a weird one! Great coin!
That's a fantastic owl! Here's a Celtic imitation of Philip II (but as a Drachm): [IMG] Celts in Eastern Europe AR Drachm (3.35g, 15mm, 10h),...
As Jyrki Muona featured prominently in this thread's original plot (he's a very prominent Otho specialist), I'll post my sole Otho, which is...
I like these ones that have the Meander pattern! A cool bit of linguistic history there too. I didn't know that he had named all the Antiochias &...
In this 2nd group, both look probably genuine, and the source is very reliable. First one looks like the bronze core of a tetradrachm fourrée....
Yeah, that's true, but in this case cody111111 (or however many 111111s) is actually a well-known collector & vest-pocket dealer who has been...
That's an interesting little bit of "object biography"! (Very common, of course, to sell a collection through one's dealer. Less common, I...
The first Athenian bronze coins were struck circa 335 BCE. (Except for the famous emergency issue of plated Tetradrachms/Drachms around 406,...
Anyone have an upgrade of a type already in their collection to share? Or Commodus? coins relating to Roman-Germanic or Roman-Sarmatian wars? Or...
Great coins and background! Will definitely check out those readings I had no idea those two city commemorative types existed. Those are really...
Nice one! My Republican collection is relatively small, so I haven't tried much to trace any to possible hoard reports, but I've been meaning to....
I was about to post a Roman or Byzantine (see also my reply #13945 a couple turns up!), but then remembered I've got some Greek AEs with...
Separate names with a comma.
