I very much like your new hekte. It's a beautiful coin, and the bit of honest wear doesn't change that at all. Here are a few nymphs from my...
This is indeed a fascinating new coin. I have absolutely no idea how to date or locate this imitation, and I also don't know whether there is any...
For obvious reasons, here is Venus Cloacina, the great goddess of the even greater sewer: [ATTACH] Roman Republic, moneyer: L. Mussidius Longus,...
I bid on a few lots but didn't win anything. That is partly due to me currently having to tap out when things become expensive, and partly because...
That's a fine new acquisition. I like it. As already mentioned above, this type of chariot is rarely seen on Roman coins. Here are my two trigae:...

Fascinating coin and informative write-up! In my opinion, Kushan bronze coins are underappreciated by collectors. Yes, high grade examples are, as...
Nice example, @+VGO.DVCKS ! The bléso-chartrain type shows how strange the imagery on medieval coinage could get: if I understand correctly, the...
A nice and unusual Parthian tetradrachm! All I have from this period in Parthian history is this drachm of Osroes II. Osroes II appears to have...
