I liked Steve's OP but Cucumbor's coin with legend and the hand (not to mention the opener!) is a really great coin. Mine is very different with...
Yes but there are exceptions. I have to disagree with the OP ID to RIC 61 which needs to have the obverse legend with C following IMP. RIC 62...

Common phobias: Its a fake? Bronze disease? Overpriced? I'll never see one again? CT guys will approve?
I also have some interest in World and even some in some other CT areas but when I am pressed for time, I will go first to ancients. We each have...

I can't say I subscribe to the theory that all coins out of the ground are enroute to an ugly death as a pile of powder but I do believe it is a...
This quinarius brings to mind the old, pre-denarius denomination the Victoriatus. These were smaller than denarii and larger than quinarii. The...

The legend is perfectly normal VIRTVS PROBI INVICTI AVG = The Virtue of the invincible emperor Probus. It is not common but not all that rare...
What are we to do here when someone posts an obvious fake but is not willing to listen? The further matter of its style being a poor copy of the...
