The point I am missing is not that they are selling low grade examples of rarities as a lot but that they see it as in their interest to do so and...
Are your coins as blue as they appear on my screen? The Decius is Uberitas AVG and also appears to have been scrubbed without mercy. The Severus...
These are from Thessalonike copied from my website page on FH. If I did it again, I would include a penny for scale. [IMG]
I agree that this started out as a hemiobol but the missing chunk and overall erosion of the surfaces has reduced its weight significantly....
It is just my opinion but I believe it would be a mistake to break out any NGC error slab. They make so very few errors that a coin being one is...
I don't usually buy so many of people who are inconsequential to history but Licinius II has some attractive busts and tends not to be terribly...
I see the silver and bronzes as inconclusive. Gold anyone? [ATTACH] This fourree does nothing to answer the matter but the item in her left...
Did you check that provenance? I do not have that sale catalog.
Interesting. This coin is an obverse die link to the one below that I failed to sell in one of John Anthony's CT sales a couple years ago. I...
I suggest you try placing the coin in softer light and focusing. Do not use the built in light but place the coin somewhere where the light works...
It is a Carinus. One Maximianus and three Diocletians finish the list.
I still consider my oddest oddity to be my IICOS reverse Domna. Sorry it is not a Moneta. I don't think this was an accident or a mule. I just...
You might consider it cheating but there is a way of being sure your coins are plate coins in a book. Write the book. I took the easier way out...
Leave it in the slab. That way when you tire of ancient coins, it will not have been cleaned. Before NGC started slabbing coins and tried to...
Yes the Septimius is a rather scarce coin not appropriate for inclusion in a 'one per emperor' set. You should sell it to someone who would...
They are easy to admire. We also can get into discussions as to which portraits belong to which Philip. Do you believe that all coins of the...
Al Kowsky introduced the fact that there were coins of Phillip struck in the Provinces but I'll add that there are a large number of types from...
My largest FH is this Trier Constantius Gallus at 25mm and 5.85g. FH coins with a full circle of dots on both sides are not common. The coin is...
SENATUS POPULUSQUE ROMANUS (The Senate and the People of Rome) was the standard 'name' applied to the 'country' of Roma. It combines the powers of...
Pozzi 1635 has similar centering but has different edge cracks including a large one left of the turtle. I consider the Nemo coin exceptional due...
Separate names with a comma.
