Lugdunum [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Next: An emperor who ruled for less than one year
Victor makes a good point here. It is helpful and fun to shoot overstrikes rotated to favor the undertype as well as the last use and, when...
To make that kind of imprint on the anvil die would require a good deal of pressure on the punch on the reverse but this die shows no degradation....
That is a very nice bull. So many of them are off center losing one end or the other of the bull. [ATTACH]
That is definitely a die clash. Anyon interested in the difference is invited to see my page on the subject which includes my example of a...
Nothing to add. I have avoided the standard chariot types except when they add something 'special' and that certainly includes elephants. Do you...
Mine is mostly empty save for meteorites in the drawer. [ATTACH]
Is that the one with 20 crown size intents on each tray except the bottom drawer which is double deep? I got mine in an antique shop 25 years...

We are very different. I went out of my way to buy this Maximinus II because of its odd shaped flan. The Rome mint style was just a bonus. [ATTACH]
That is an appropriate example of a fourree and worth $5. It hurts me to see people paying solid prices for these coins but you did well to...
'Some people' will tell you any coin is a fake. Don't listen to them. If you don't trust Frascatius (I do) or CNG, send it to NGC or David Sear...
Many, it is a specialty of mine but the one good for this thread is my Carausius over Victorinus. On mine the obverses are on the same side and...
I wish mine were that nice. My only Victorinus Providentia is this DIVO VICTORINO PIO which cost me a lot more than I wish I had paid and small...
Beefy? This is my largest club. Trajan, as, club on lionskin [ATTACH] Next: a lionskin with nothing alive in the photo
This one has a larger flan an shows the letter placement but it is a different die so meaningless here. However you have the bottom half of the...
