I'm assuming this is a Koinon of Bithynia under Hadrian. Perhaps RPC from about 991 to 1021 (page 2 & page 3 of these search results). Your best...
Zoilos: [ATTACH] Pseudo-Rhodian Drachm, struck under Perseus, to pay Cretan mercenaries. CNG once wrote of this type (in EA 470 [17 June 2020],...
I think it looks fine. You can see very minor cleaning marks, but you can see that on most large bronzes blown up with that resolution. It doesn't...
You can read the history of the firm here on their website or a very short history on the British Museum site (very useful source for numismatic...
Misattribution can be a collector's best friend! It's the main reason I occasional go trolling through some of the new budget auctioneers we're...
As for X -- closest fit I can think of is Constantine X Ducas (AD 1059-1067), though the X was not a contemporary "name," and Rome was long lost...
Great Denarius @The Meat man (that one was purchased from Lincoln Higgie, too -- apparently he was a favorite of Bressett)! Great catch on the...
Are we on to "M"? I guess "K" could've been a provincial of Commodus (or Caracalla, etc.) with a Greek legend! (Kinda stretching it.) Μ Α...
BCD Peloponnesos 969.1 is the final auction record you've linked. LHS 96 was the BCD Collection of Peloponnesos. So the other auctions were...
I personally would have no problem with that one! Perhaps the obverse die is a bit worn or just a die slip, I don't think it's crudely engraved....
It really does have the appearance of a Trier, including the style of the soldier & horseman. One thing I notice comparing yours to @maridvnvm 's...
Well, I was thinking about posting one of my Eugenius AV Solidi, but I don't have any yet, so I think I'll go with Elagabalus Tetradrachm:...
Wow, congratulations! That's no small feat, getting a pair, Constantius II and a Gallus! (Even one would make me very happy.) I don't think I...
Nicely done, Zumbly! I was watching that one, too. Not only is it a really great portrait for a Gratian AE3, but really interesting Officina...
That is an attractive Titus from Antioch. Big Bronze can still look good even nearly smooth. I will definitely go to smooth. I distinguish...
One thing I love about those Phalanna issues is all the variety of Sakkos! (Sakkoses? Sakkosi? Sakki?) And to think, for just a moment, I wondered...
In my opinion, that's not what it looks like when faked. Personally, I'd be confident that's genuine sand patina. You can see that there are...
I’m sure others here bought coins from the same collection sale, so I thought it might be worth sharing some background info on the...
I've been answering often lately, so I wanted to skip one, but I can't let that prompt get 12-hour'd! (An interesting one, @TuckHard !) Here's...
I would like be able to present a convincing Manus Dei on the Cyzicus AE4s of Theodosius -- John MacIsaac (1975) argued that, at least at that...
Separate names with a comma.
