Nice gold, love the reverse & I don't blame you for not wanting to part with "your first". This is my oldest coin I have owned as well as my...
Looks like you overpaid, I wouldn't have bothered. Looks polish, not Spanish.
Well look at all the flan flaws I wish @Barry Murphy would weigh in his opinion on this. I still think it's a lightweight tetradrachm & I would...
I think it's a low weight tetradrachm. I could be wrong though. It's a common reverse for a tetradrachm of him.
That's a great addition. I like the reverse especially.
I vaguely remember hearing about this. But no, I don't go and taste my new babies. Who knows what they may be carrying about thousands of years....
Wonderful find, congrats, David. Here is a coin/building I haven't reposted in awhile [img] Petillius Capitolinus (43 B.C.) AR Denarius O:...
I'm very aware of the XI or IA, but I was referring to just the weight question = double-aurelianianus.
No kidding. He will always be one of my favorite historical figures I learned in school & got me into history as a whole. And if those people...

Beautiful coin. Your nymph also has a mustache it seems. Styled pretty well too.:D:cool:
Lol, I really doubt it's a ''Double Antoninianus'' if that's the case my Salonina mind as well be one too. I think it's just overweight like some...
Nice find, I'm sure it will clean up nice.
Added to my forvm gallery days ago, but I know it wouldn't get many comments so I never made its own thread. Had to clean it since it was full of...
Looks real but being a "shipwreck" find, it maybe worth $25 or so.
My longest period was a pretty common one, a portrait JC coin. As others have mentioned, it was having the money & the right coin to come along....
Great addition, Limes. I wouldn't mine a Spanish mint Galba in the future. It took a long time to get a non-Rome mint, Vespasian. And it's...
