I really like that nicely centered reverse. Mine is the version with the palm but the flan barely shows it. [ATTACH] My fourree adds APV on...
If it were anyone but you, I would suggest you declare it #1 now but you might come up with something that gives it a run for the money. My last...
There was a time not long ago that you could make decent coin images with a scanner. Then technology went for a new breed of ultra thin profile...
Thanks. I was aware of sampi but not shaped like that. I expected ϡ or something similar. Was it used for 900 (which is not a number known on...
I was taught in school overr 50 years ago: Both Caligula and Caracalla were names given by the soldiers when the boys were young and with dad on...
How was the Ahenobarbus Aureus in NFA outted as a fake? Did they find two of them? Did they find the dies? I have the catalog and know there...

Interesting! I would suggest using manual white balance if your camera allows it and softer light bounced around the room rather than directed at...
Emmett 540 AE drachm - From the shape of the flan this can not be a tetradrachm.
It might help to know the make and model of your phone just in case someone here is using the same one. None of us (I hope) have made a study of...
I may be fooled by the fuzziness but I think this is a more special coin than just any Ephesis bee/stag. Work on taking pictures that are sharp...
I agree with your ID. I call mine Galerius. [ATTACH]
I'd wait for a coin that did not come with questions. Of the two, I prefer #2 mostly for that wild reverse texture and the bit of remaining wing...
My favorite is the Akragas but I have to admit I would have trouble passing up a cut halfpenny with two eyes, nose and mouth as well as...
