This is the story of my life but the worst part is when you take a photo that you think is good but later return to it (perhaps because you got a...
More obverse dies forces me to ask if this means the obverse die was on the top position and reverse on the bottom at this period. Are there...
That article was a painful read. The Alexandria mint legionary denarius shown is weak on the right side reverse legend (as are many of the type)....
Closest I can come here is a Hiketas II AE23, 7.58g somewhat impaired by having been struck on an earlier coin of the Artemis / thunderbolt type....
97%? I think you owe the two NGC experts an apology. Anyone who misses 3% would not be considered employable in the trade let alone selling...
We might even make a point that the 'finest' coins to be collected already are in collections and may currently be half a world away from where...
Any idea needs to pass the test: Why should someone buy what I make rather than sending off for a custom, one of a kind print on demand shirt?...

You are perfectly free to deny the term 'emperor' to anyone you wish but there are no sestertii or other AE from Rome for Pescennius Niger. It is...
I agree with those who approve of the price BUT the photo needs another try IMO. Yes, I realize the coin is a brightly shined mirror but you still...
I might like this site better if I read French: https://www.probuscoins.fr/ The one below was written before you were born by an amateur who...
I hope the winner will post a bit about the coin after he has received it and tell us why he considers this coin not 'just another' ancient coin....
Roman 'fiddling' would have been playing the lyre and there are Nero coins showing him plucking. Unfortunately these tend to be over my budget so...
I would not remove that coin from the holder if you ever intend to sell it. The flat reverse strike would not sell as well raw as when graded ChVF.
I suppose many might credit Gallienus as doing more to create crises as to end them but his coins are most certainly necessary as part of a...
Maesa is also available from an Eastern mint usually called Antioch. Two Junos and my favorite, a Fecunditas. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
