Honesty IS the best policy. Karma! What goes around comes around. You did a good thing. I did something similar a couple of years ago. Local...
As I've said before, I love these coins, but I have stayed away because they are widely faked. No suggestion that your's is a fake. Just a...
Another Tyche? Man, I guess we're going to be in completion with each other. That's a real beauty Jerry. I was looking at a similar coin with a...
Great word Doug. And I do like the new name ultracrepidarianx6. It has a certain ring to it.
I do not know the second coin at all. The first coin looks like an imitation of a very common LRB (late Roman bronze). Why someone might make an...
I will be looking for them. Hopefully better luck with the next coins.
BTW Rudi, that link can be expanded to include coin reference sheets for Claudius and Salonina; Claudius II and Quintillus; Postumus, Laelianus,...

I was looking around on Ebay earlier today, and I identified three coins from one particular seller to place in my watch list. As the auction...

Coin one is Trajan, but I do not recognize the other coin.
Are you sure it's gold? The portrait has the look of Claudius II or Quintillus, but the reverse looks barbaric.
It's hard to say for certain, but I believe I may have this coin: Trajan AR Denarius OBV: IMP CAES NER TRAIANO OPTIMO AVG GER DAC, laureate...
I don't just collect denarii, but I believe I focus on them. This is a fair denarius with a good portrait of Trajan. His portrait style is...
Very interesting history and a great coin to boot. "Sothic Cycle" is new to me as well. Any time something new is learned, the day is not...
