Nice! It looks like a museum! ^_^
This is my only Phoenician coin. :( [ATTACH] [ATTACH] It may not be rare or in very good condition but I still like it a lot because it’s...
Great topic! For me the under $1K purchase I am happiest about is this Byzantine gold solidus of Justinian the Great. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I paid...
That’s a great mnemonic! Re-ITER-ate. Now I’ll remember ^_^
Wow €13 is an incredible bargain! I’d take that all day. If you ever see 2 Augustus denarii for €13 let me know! ;)
Thanks! Yours is awesome too! :) Oh yeah I definitely agree 100% that I did indeed pay more for it being in the slab. That’s just how it is in...
That's true! They are all slabbed. I think my Quadrigatus is the only Roman I have that cost more. I bid $700 on this Vespasian and I bid $1,000...
I promise I’m not trying to be hostile or argumentative but from what I've seen I don't think that ANY Vespasian denarii are very cheap in near MS...
Does anyone happen to know what “ITER” means on this coin? It says “COS-ITER”, and I know “COS” means “Consul” but what is the “ITER” for?
Nice! I have Domitian too but still looking for a nice Augustus at a fair price. [ATTACH]
Nice ones Donna! I bet you got a much better deal on those than I got on mine xD. I paid more for my Vespasian denarius than any other of my...
Yeah for sure. I mean if the reverse was something I really didn’t like or had serious problems with damage or something like that I would...
I guess it’s a reminder that these coins were all struck by hand rather than coinage today struck by machine that can make every single coin...
Nice one! It looks like the same one as mine! :)
Thanks Marco! I’m a Capricorn myself as well and I definitely agree with you that yours has a more appealing reverse. The reverse on mine is kind...
Here is my only Justinian coin of any kind. It also happens to be my only 1000+ year old gold coin. ^_^ Note the P-cross different from the...
Nice one Roman! What year was that minted? According to the HA listing my Vespasian denarius was minted in 70 AD which was right at the beginning...
Well this is the one I have: [ATTACH] But one day I’d like to get one like this: [ATTACH] It’s not because one is him as a young man and the...
Thanks Donna :). I agree! One thing I've noticed is that the earlier Emperors seem to usually (not always) have much better struck coins. I...
Oh cool did you win it? I need another Commodus myself since I don’t really like mine. It just looked better in the pictures when I bought it :/....
