Congratulations! I believe this coin is from Trajan's coinage celebrating his conquest over Dacia. I happen to collect "Captives Coinage," and...
Interesting, thank you for sharing the data. I've tried to gather data over a similar period (2015-2021) for Lysimachos Tetradrachms but limiting...
Good catch! Whether the currency conversion was made in 2018 or today, the coin appreciated by 40% in 4 years after inflation. Not a bad return....
I haven't yet acquired any of these early Roman Aes, or their specific literature, but they have some of the most impressive looking books. All...
I've shared this one on another forum. The photo isn't recent (CNG e-Auction 116 [15 June 2005], Lot 56), but it's way better than the recent...
So he was holding out on us in the original post!
Interesting history about Vespasian and Sarapis. I'm always curious about how the particular reverses were chosen and why some were favored under...
Congratulations on the new finds, @Terence Cheesman ! Those are all fantastic (I like that new RIC II includes private collection coins). I...
Well played, @Bing -- I wasn't sure we'd get a Claudius Denarius, as fewer players have been on the field lately! I hope just plain Nemesis...
I believe that the first part is correct, re: provenance outside Spain, or if it's been imported recently for consignment. I don't think I've seen...
Can't tell without weight if it's a Ptolemy III Drachm (like these ones) or Triobol/Hemidrachm (like these). @Broucheion suggests the latter, so I...
That's pretty awesome! I'd be thrilled. Mine were mostly published before I got them, and those published after used previous auction photos....
I collect “Numismatic Literature / Coin Exhibits” or "Groupings" -- not the best phrases... Maybe just "Books and Coins that Go Together." Am I...

@Ed Snible -- you're right about the catalogs after 1970, though many important sales (and less important) can be found scattered about (e.g.,...
I have only done test runs using the image searches available and I'm still skeptical of the success rate (though I have no doubt that every old...
I've shared this one before, but it fits this theme well. Since Rasiel Suarez's ERIC II was published in 2010 (I think I got it as a gift that...
It's very difficult to find a copy. There were only 250 copies printed (mine is 49) and a lot are in libraries (university, museums, institutes,...
Yes, good one, I've added to this list above. I think the ones on NNP may all be on Archive as well, but once you get used to it the Newman...
Here's my very displeased (rightly so) and frowny-faced Gallia (Hostilius Saserna Denarius, 48 BCE, Crawford 448/3): [ATTACH] NEXT: A Roman...
