I'm a little late...but here's my contribution to this thread! I originally wanted this coin when I saw it in the previous Gorny & Mosch auction,...
I'm not a mod, but I would assume that any sort of promotional material has to be posted under one of the advertising forums (for sale, want...
I don't typically post in this thread, but I thought why not give it a shot! Here's my latest coin. I've been looking for this type for a while...
Here's my sestertius of Domna struck under her son. [ATTACH] Photo taken by CNG Next: A different Severan empress in AE (sestertius, dupondius or as)

I would argue the opposite of what you're suggesting. Realism (or more specifically verism and naturalism) as a trend in portraiture came into...
If by size, you mean diameter, than you are incorrect. Denarii of the time were about 20mm, whereas sestertii were about 10-12mm. Also, I'm not...
I'm not quite sure I understand the relevance of the observation that a denarius is close in size to a dime. But in terms of weight, most of the...
That's because they are silver. The sestertius was originally a small silver coin when it was introduced around 211 BC. It was reintroduced in a...
Unfortunately, I don't have any cistophori to share, but I do have a miliarense. I believe this one is 23mm. While it's not huge, it is larger...
I won the only coin I was interested in...my first leu win after many previous losses. Like everyone else, my bid shot up to my max right before...
Nice pickups @Bradley Trotter ! I especially like the follis of Licinius, it has great detail and near-full silvering. I've picked up 4 coins...
Yes! Next, next week...and CNG is the week after that in case anyone's wondering! :p No need to check!
Nice pickup @Marsyas Mike ! I don't have an uncia of M. Herennius, but I do have a denarius of this moneyer. [ATTACH]
I probably shared this one too recently, but had to include it given the theme of this thread. I've always though that the left facing portrait...
Received my invoice this morning... much quicker than I anticipated! As for prices, I didn’t watch the Greek section so I can only comment on...
Typically NAC will send your invoice to your email, not through Biddr. Prior to this auction, I have won lots in 2 NAC auctions. According to my...
Octavian/Augustus has a very pointy nose on this coin. Octavian (31-30 BC) AR Denarius [ATTACH] Obv: Bare head left. Rev: Victory standing to...
Plenty of superb Roman aurei, a colosseum sestertius, an eid mar denarius and a few late Roman medallions. I've always loved the large multiple...
Congrats on your denarius @Limes ! This type is not exactly easy to come by. Most examples have significant off-centring or weak strikes. With the...
