Congratulations! It's a great looking denarius.
Speaking of Maximian, I have this DIVO MAXIMIANVS AE4 on the way, struck by Constantine. I'll post my own pic at some point in the future, with a...
30b is correct. 32b has a different mark scheme. XXI is split between the right and left fields. [ATTACH]
Lovely coin! It's got that style that's just a little bit different and stands out as Alexandria. I have a couple similar folles of Galerius and...
You're right. That's really not a good reason. :)
I absolutely love the charming little Nike on this coin!
Eh...I like the stripes on yours better. Actually, it's the first time I've seen the stripes on these coins. It makes me wonder if the engravers...
Sweet coin TIF. I think you've got the best looking panther now. :)

I haven't gone out of my way to collect particularly old coins, but here's one... Kyzikos, Mysia AR Tritatemorion, 9X12mm, 0.58g; 480-450...
Ok, thank you! Actually, that website looks like a good place to start. Looks like CNG has Pieper for $95, which isn't bad as far as numismatic...
Lol. Now that's optimism.
THC, what would you suggest as a reference for these coins? Something that does more than merely catalog them, but perhaps analyzes them to a...
It's a very different coin with that kind of relief, isn't it? I assembled a date set of Peace Dolalrs, many years ago, and I remember searching...
Yes, this has been my experience as well. And there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. I once waited 2 months for a coin to clear...
Yes, that's right. The engraver of the limes denarius mixed an older legend with a later reverse type. A great coin for collectors who like these...
