The surfaces may not be good but the engraving is very artistic, RC! :) The days of getting a coin for opening bid seem to be gone, at least for...
Yeah, bummer. I was about ready to auction off 5 ml aliquots from the half bottle I have left. ;) :D Glad to hear more will soon be available,...
The first one is supposed to be a coin of Athens although it's more of a "tourist" copy. The second is likely a modern fake too, imitating a...
Here's another, an interesting Alexandrian. I haven't shown this coin before-- backlog of coins to show :). It's an upgrade but I'm keeping the...
Nicely presented (as usual!), @Deacon Ray :) Judaean and Nabataean coinage certainly loved their cornucopiae. The cornucopia seems to be a...

Volusian, from a fun and mostly unattributed mixed lot won in 2013 from a Goldberg auction: [IMG] Thought I had more but it looks like the rest...
That is fascinating! Thanks!!
Well, sure, but perhaps not as much as you'd like. It's condition and common reverse type will keep the price down but you might be able to get...
I took a quick pass through ACsearch and other places and didn't see a tetrastyle reverse like this for Gallienus. Hmm. The overall flan style...
I agree with Pete (and OJ, who responded as I typed). You can make out the emperor's name. In hand you can probably make out some of the reverse...
Not finding that coin (the one from ACsearch) elsewhere. Here's a somewhat similar coin on Wildwinds, described as Athena on obverse and a...
Obverse looks like Ares. Reverse appears to be a trophy. Didn't find much on ACsearch using those terms. Perhaps this: [ATTACH] GRIECHEN...
Here's a tiny treasure I've not shown often enough :). [IMG] MACEDON, Mende circa 460-423 BCE AR hemiobol; 7 mm, 0.39 gm, 6 h Obv: forepart of...
Thanks! I bought it six or seven years ago when CNG was selling a handful of coins from the Money Museum. Later I was told of the Athos Moretti...
Wow, those are both fantastic! The Magnesia ad Maeandrum trihemiobol is particularly outstanding. I wish it were mine. :shifty::sour: Congrats...
I was disappointed to find asiaminorcoins down recently. I use the site often when trying to identify unknowns.
4- need better pictures (closer/higher resolution, in focus, and perhaps with oblique lighting to bring out whatever device elements remain). 5-...
2 is going to be some sort of Seleukid. Larger images might be helpful. Can you tell anything about the obverse figure? Could be a ruler, could...
