So I have yet another comment (don't mean to crowd the thread, but topics I find interesting keep coming up!)... This is a tough one, and it...
Here's one that qualifies in some ways. I've been interested in the Archer Huntington (1870-1955) Collection for the tremendous backstory. I need...
Reminds me a little bit of these Lycian types (crossed bow / quiver in incuse square was a typical image). Even similar size (though this one's a...
Very cool! I've got the matching pair too, it's a classic. Unfortunately I don't have a photo of the Sestertius (I need to get on that), but here...
I love the way the Celtic coins like this offer multiple images in a single design! That was the genius of the artistry -- it can't be judged by...
Kings of Parthia. Vologases I (2nd reign, c. 58-77 CE) AR Diobol (13.5mm, 1.21 g, 12h). Langnas "Fractions" 21 (this coin) = PDC 23257 (Sellwood...
Oh yeah, I remember reading that thread and wishing it had gone very differently! Especially given the open secretness of it, it certainly doesn't...
Donna -- since I'm slightly bibliomaniacal, I always enjoy the references and bibliographic detail in your descriptions, including the links to...
Thanks for sharing that! Did he collect other types of coins that he didn't hide and that people were aware of? He gives a very interesting...
EX-DORNY: For coins, all I can find are secondary purchases but I do have some of his FPLs from the late 1990s (35, 38-42 and 44-46, 46 being his...
Thank you @nerosmyfavorite68 & @Severus Alexander for IDing that tag! Unfortunately I missed the Spahr coins at Naville (though I'll watch for any...
To @Terence Cheesman 's point -- As it happens, my one Philip II Tetradrachm and probably my favorite Alexander III Tetradrachm are both of...
He's definitely selling other fakes (the ones OP's discussing are labeled as such) but I'm pretty confident the Hermann Lanz (his father) coll....
Yes I've been noticing it for several weeks whenever I go to bid on the Celtic coins. I didn't realize it was a new thing... I only started...
Thanks for letting me know @BenSi and for the tip about nomenclature (I enjoy when they just called it "flat coinage")! I certainly wondered who...
Personally I've always thought it plausible that coin could've been interpreted in multiple ways by different audiences and possibly even intended...
By the way, just noticed your coin is also ex Elsen Auction 86 (10 Dec 2005), 256.
That is quite a special one! I don't have any rev. brockages (or Flavian) but always take not note when I see one in a catalog online. I have a...
Another Pisidia Antioch example. These are so similar (even the stars in the fields) they must be related. I also notice that the (Greek?)...
Not sure exactly where mine fits -- it's a BCD 502 (but with the ornate handled-amphora of a 503) -- usually dated ca. 379-368 BCE (overlapping...
Separate names with a comma.
