I just posted this new denarius in another thread and thought I'd update this one as well. Here's my other new Circus Maximus denarius. I like...
I couldn't pass up this denarius as the price was right, so I've now joined the Septimius Severus duplicate club: [IMG] And my other example,...
Great pictures, and a wonderful coin! Wagons are overrated :D
I also hate owning coins which I know have been doctored. Yes, I appreciate that most ancients have been cleaned at one point in their life, but...
FYI - this Colosseum sestertius just sold for $106K all in. It was quite late in the auction: prices early in the sale were very high but they...
I suggest going through the first Twelve Caesars, and perhaps the five good emperors as well. I believe I know how to properly pronounce most of...
He is indeed :) They recently started running a slightly different slogan on their bottles: [IMG] "Ajax: Stronger than grease" - which is a...
I acquired this coin a few months ago but haven't posted it yet. I've always admired the staters from Lokris but hadn't found one which "spoke" to...
I've wondered about this as well. I appreciate the rationale behind the varied chronological/alphabetic/location sequencing, but I think in many...
I think the market has spoken on this particular coin - I looked at it in 2010 and didn't bid on it (it failed to sell at a $70K estimate). I...
My only example: [IMG] I haven't seen many with lizards on them, and jumped on this one when it came up. It's sharing a square in my coin box...
I fell for it too, largely because I still read US coin forums and several people have sold their classic coins in favor of MS70 moderns...

I like having world coin posts alongside the ancient posts. It's resulted in me buying a few world coins I wouldn't have otherwise been exposed...
I meant to post this earlier - for those who aren't familiar with it, this coin's larger brother is the dekadrachm, possibly from the same...
I was trying this one out to see if it would show the edges a bit better, which I feared were being lost a bit in the plain black images. I think...
I've posted this coin before, and was hoping to acquire its larger brother at a recent auction but unfortunately was significantly outbid....
An update to those who weren't watching: this sestertius just sold for $97K (58K EUR hammer). Definitely a strange auction, to say the least -...
Just heard back: it came back as "Questionable Authenticity" and not slabbed.
I never followed up with my friend - I'll drop him an email and let you know!
