All right, the game is active again! My favorite full figure on a Roman coin is probably this Zeus Labraundos, with his double-headed axe...
That is a great type! I would love to have spotted that one, but I don't have Drost so I wouldn't have known what made it extra special....
Here's a Probus that is primarily notable for coming from the collection of Richard J. Plant (1928-2020), the "Reverend of Numismatics" and author...
@Tony1982 -- I tried to check the reference and noticed something. I can't find any other examples or references with a draped obverse bust. Of at...
Fantastic set!
Very cool, thanks for sharing the photos. I "went to" (by Zoom) an ANS talk by Richard Beleson last October, who participated in the excavations...
Congratulations, that is a nice one! I'm not sure exactly how many Alexandrian I have now (maybe 30-40 or so, vast majority Tetradrachms, one of...
There's really no such thing as condition being "too good to be genuine." But I don't think anyone can confidently determine authenticity based...
I believe you can call this as an RPC of Commodus. It wasn't clear until the last photo, but I can read the following the legend on either side...
Interesting. There's a Commodus that looks similar: https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/4/9754 The diameters for their 3 specimens are 38-39mm, and...
Here's my most recent Faustina Sr., a Sestertius that came in a CNG group lot a few months back. [ATTACH] From the WRG Collection. There's...
Does anyone know when the earliest Pudicitia reverse of this type was produced? Seems like it was used at least as early as the Adoptive Period,...
It's great that you previously, independently knew "this coin" from RIC. Like it was "meant to be." I feel that certain coins "belong" in certain...
Hey @cmezner -- I'm fairly confident I've found a bit of additional provenance for your Faustina Drachm. CNG only gave "Rocky Mountain Collection...
That was good work tracking down the previous listing! I've seen that happen before -- even with published coins and coins from important...
That's a nice big Provincial Bronze! I see why RPC picked it to illustrate the type. One of my favorite things about Roman Provincials is that...
Good one, I’ve seen lots of ex-Michael Kelly coins online (and bid on some), but never the tags. Into the "database"! Beautiful Brutus! I love...
Here's an example of a ticket handwriting comparison that I just completed. I showed the Cornelius Vermeule Ticket above -- but I hadn't worked...
Aha! I thought that one was familiar. I don't know who the collector was, but Justin Lee (not active on here I don't think) had some of these. He...
Oh! Just realized that FH has a great shield decoration on the reverse! One of randygeki's many decorated shields has such a swirl, but w/ more...
Separate names with a comma.
