That’s a good question. Early Constantine folles, say from around 306, especially in the east, feature him with a mustache. I’m not sure the die...
I have enjoyed participating in the first two auctions and look forward to the third. Here’s a coin I have enjoyed having in my collection since...
I love those abdication folles, and yours is an especially nice one. Congrats. Here’s my green beauty. I rarely punch the VCoins “Add to Cart”...

If Jeff Spicoli and Wayne Gretzky had a love child, it would be Alexander the Great. He would be a pretty great hockey player, but he would be...

One of his coins is nice to get in any shape. To find one from Carthage in that condition is pretty great.
$5 Titus SESTERTIUS! The reverse is as smooth as a baby’s bottom. [ATTACH]
Well, I posted this MA parallel in a recent thread, but perhaps it belongs here. I hear Marc Antony went "from rags to riches." [ATTACH]
Mine. [ATTACH]
I think Marc Antony looks a little like Tony Bennett. Wonder if Antony could sing? [ATTACH]
If I were to "translate" the reverse image+legend of the coin, it would be that the coin celebrates the Roman virtue of pietas (duty to family,...
That’s the genitive plural of Augustus. It typically means “of the Augusti“ and signals possession. So the “PIETAS of the augusti.” So I guess...
Separate names with a comma.
