I have suggested this previously and management has not even had the decency to reply putting down the idea. It rather reminds me of the fight we...
We are snowed in today. Stevex6 would call it flurries but that is not the purpose of this post. My wife noted that the TV sometimes referred to...
It is not the only one but it is hard to tell from the photos. Was that really a 'rare' sestertius of Otho? My favorite has to be the...
The first cuts the alphabet down to I with the occasional O. The second saw no need for the O. There are two reasons for making unofficial coins....
If I were going to give a primer here on fourrees it would probably be similar to the four pages here which I posted in 1997....
There are just so many you can't keep them all (so they say, anyway) but how do you decide which is a keeper and which is not? [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Nice coin! I do not place a lot of value in rarity claims based on whether or not a coin is listed in some work. It is equally possible that a...
That is not a fourree but a solid coin that was hoarded with some copper which fused to its surface. I post a fourree of Vespasian (copper under...
I see no reason not to accept Curtis' explanation of the matter. Not all examples of this would have to involve two different types of reverse and...
Looking at the snow out my window at the moment suggests this could be a bad day to travel. They predict 70 degrees Friday here. Keep us posted.
At this period, several of the 'rare' coins can be explained by a type normal or common for one ruler being used/adapted for another. In some...
The question here is not so much whether we will own a modified coin but whether we will pay extra for them to encourage the owners of a $100 coin...
I would feel a lot better about this if I felt the coin had been restored to make it look more like it did before it was damaged but I see the...
RIC ID's do not change for the differences in workshops that produced matching coins. They will list a coin P for Prima or the first shop but...
I was hoping someone would post a Gordian III with Balbinus features. I do not have one but CNG showed this one a decade ago:...
Vitellius as Otho? [ATTACH] Septimius Severus as Didius Julianus? [ATTACH]
I would have posted these before but it took a while to cut away the right parts. :) Caesar without Augustus, Vienna [ATTACH] Agrippa without...
Mine is a poor example of what has to be the most common Roman gold coin. The year (42) this was made, Theodosius had to pay the Huns 2100 pounds...
[ATTACH] My Balbus is nothing special and adds nothing here for equal time I'll add my C. Marius Capito who was apparently a Sullan despite his...
That was a weak one for me, too. I guess we should go shopping.
