This is actually a rather sad coin considering that "later part of his reign" means 17 or 18 years old.
Except that on my example, you can clearly see that his left hand is cupped around the bottom of a globe, as opposed to grasping the shaft of an...
I have HTT's and CWT's, and some US type coins. None are slabbed, but I don't handle them as casually as ancients. They are modern after all, and...
This is a coin I bought over the summer - nothing rare, but a nice strike with excellent silvering. I just got around to attributing it as RIC VII...
Maybe for collectors of moderns, but most collectors of ancients despise the things. I collect coins, not chunky pieces of plastic. I'm certainly...
That's distressing news, but I still don't believe in the bad juju of posting coins before you receive them. Anything can happen at any time for...
NGC uses grades like AU or Uncirculated for ancient coins, but this is just a marketing tactic. These grades only exist on slabs for collectors...
Looks cast to me, sorry. :(
These are all pretty rough. This is actually a very nice example of the type with a great brick-red desert patina typical of many Antioch coins....
A really beautiful example of the type. Nice find!
Beautiful denarius! Yeah, it's a little easier to get a good pic once they're out of the slammer, huh?

Rhoemetalkes was ruler of the Odrysian kingdom of Thrace from 12 BC to AD 12, a loyal ally of Augustus. Here they are together on a coin of about...
Very nice example of the type. I just posted mine in Pish's thread, but you can't have enough Maximian... [ATTACH]
I agree with JB - great coin Bing. I really don't mind rough surfaces when the detail and centering are that good.
Doug is right of course. The coin I posted is a post-reform radiate as opposed to an antoninianus. Here's an ant then - this is a good example of...
Nicely-detailed example of that type, Bing. Good score!
I've posted all my campgates before, so I'll throw in this new coin, just won it on eBay. Not exactly ancient, but one of the nicest examples I've...
From my Arabian collection, here is a bronze of Julia Mamaea issued in Bostra, Tyche reverse... [ATTACH]
Yes, the first is an issue of Antioch, but without the face of the bust and any inscriptions, it's impossible to narrow it further.
Separate names with a comma.
