The reverse inscription is EIPHNH CEBACTH per Emmett (Emmett 838; R5 for RY 6). Looks there are a few in RPC. The latter half of the legend is...
No, just single shots. The Eumenes and its side shot were taken with a fixed lens camera on manual mode (Canon Powershot). I'm not sure if it...
Lovely little coins, all! Some of these tiny bit of metal pack a surprising amount of artistic details. [IMG] SICILY, Selinos Circa 410 BCE AR...
Great coin and photos, @Theodosius! And wow to the relief on that Klazomenai! I had no idea they had such high relief. The type has languished...

Looks like an Alexandrian portrait of Elagabalus to me and what little you can see of the legend fits (...AAV PANT...) :). I think it's Emmett...
:hilarious: Looks like Herkles obverse, Apollo reverse. A quick stroll through ACsearch suggests this is from Lydia, Sardes, although I don't...

Happy birthday, @galba68! Wish I could snap my fingers and be in a field with you and a couple of metal detectors! :)
Here's mine, FWIW. It has a typical shallow strike. The pedigree is interesting though :). I've tried several times to get good (read:...
Yeah, but of all the Ptolemaic hockey pucks shown on CT yours has the best strike, prettiest patina, and most desirable pedigree :). Dibs if you...
