Not only is it a beautiful specimen, the type is not one of the common ones we see every day. I don't have it and I doubt many of the rest here...
Is your nickel believed to be of meteoric origin?
I agree that the color is special. Mine are quite ordinary. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I admit curiosity as to what the slabbers would assign to those coins. For that matter, I wonder if all here would agree which is the best of the...
Nickel is offended by being combined with fourree. Lead for the most part is what most of us consider tokens or is the latest thinking on them...
A recent discussion in the ancient section made me want one of the St. George and dragon crowns. Realizing I am not a condition fan and would not...
I have too many that are hard to classify. Where do I put that Severus Alexander Alexandria 4dr I bought last month at Baltimore. It looks AE...
There is a downside to white. A white background can be bright enough to introduce an overall flare into the lens causing a degradation of fine...

It is a great coin. I've always been quite aware of the type because it is the other common coin of Sextus Pompey which I have no reason ever to...
When I was eight, my parents divorced and my mother had to work leaving me alone more than today would be considered appropriate. I had a lot of...
Since I am out away from books, I have an excuse to show coins with minimal attributions. I tend to prefer Nero's Imperials to the Provincials I...
Both of mine are bronzes but the triple silphium joined at the bases is a mite unusual if crude looking. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Mine is coin #536, a Julia Domna under Caracalla with later portrait and Mater Deum reverse. This is a bit of a surprise since I have vastly more...
Valens (Nicomedia mint, I think) see http://esty.ancients.info/ricix/type6.html and Constantius II as Augustus (Constantinople mint) see type #2...
