Thanks a million for that Windchild - that is definitely what I have. As Doug points out, down to rather too many details to be comfortable with...
Thanks for that Ripley. The reverse seems to show a palm tree with a bird standing underneath - although it may be an eagle it looks more like a...
These are the "last of the best" from the auction lots on Tuesday. Still hoping someone will ID the Greek looking one from post #31 in this...
A couple of goodies: 1. I bought a job lot of foreign mixed at a car boot sale, for once genuinely unsorted. Among other gems in the lot - a...
I certainly agree with that Doug - the only redeeming feature was all the lots came from a collector recently deceased. (I know the auctioneer...
Sadly the pics have gone from the auction website now the auction is over. It was a Denarius with bust of Pompey the Great on obverse, and Neptune...
Yes - I was very pleased with those two. I ended up buying five lots in all - I have sorted through 3 now. Some junk, some very nice. Still not...
These two I think I have sorted - just sharing for the joy of it! M Fannius - 123BC M Cipius - 115/114 BC [ATTACH]
Thanks Bing for the ID on the Roman. The other coin is 23mm at its widest and weighs 6.9 gms.
This one is Vespasian I assume, and is in pretty poor shape, but what does the reverse depict? [ATTACH]
Ok I have been and bought some lots from the auction. Many I can identify, and I will show those in due course, but some I am struggling with. In...
Ah! Right - I see what you mean - I had missed that detail. I think my brain has strained enough on this one - I may return to it later in the...
Good to have a well-natured debate! Any reason why you prefer the RIC 288v to the RIC 272 Windchild? The 272 looks a better stylistic fit to...
This one looks to be a better fit in both portrait and mint - Lyons: http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/delmatius/_lyons_RIC_272.jpg
I am not sure it is going to be Rome, but you may be right. The picture that goes with the Rome mint on Wildwinds is a far more mature individual...
How about this one being Delmatius? I had been looking for a legend starting FIDEL, which was what I thought it read, but FLDELMA makes more...
Thanks for both these - I had got as far as looking at Wildwinds myself (I am learning!). My coin is only about 13.5mm across if that helps. I...
Thanks for the great advice - that was just what I needed before I went and spent a fortune on some rubbish! I will be very cautious and only bid...
Not as good as others posted, but these two were in a recent job lot - Helena and Constantius First I believe: [ATTACH][ATTACH]
How about this one being Eudoxia? [ATTACH] For these later coins the only book I have is a cheap price guide by Richard Plant but it seems to fit.
