Great coin! What are the legends on the obverse and reverse?
Great coin! Here's mine from a similar but later issue in 67bc. [ATTACH] C. Calpurnius L.f. Frugi. Ob: Head of Apollo r., hair bound with fillet;...
Great job getting the crud off! I'd now try to let it tone a bit. I hear setting a coin in the sun by a window for a few months can add some toning.
Rome [ATTACH] Samosata or Antioch [ATTACH] Salonina's portraits vary so much that there aren't really characteristics that are always one way or...
Haha, that's great! It inspired me to take a photo with a recent birthday present... my lego legionary with a Justinian coin that's been giving me...
Oooh... I had a long battle trying to find the right Florian, something that was nice but that didn't cost a ton. Here's the one I finally...
Here's one that is as close to yours as I have (@furryfrog02 's coin is the same as yours)... rather than Maximian (as yours is), mine is Galerius...
It looks cast in white metal. The coin should be bronze and struck. It is a replica, likely cast from a real coin. Still, if it creates an...
Happy birthday Doug! Great coins. I'm a follower of your "I collecting the coins that interest me" way of doing things, I always appreciate your...
Here's a Commodus that I think clearly shows an example of the legends being engraved last. The engraver misjudged the length of the reverse...
I agree that the style looks like Antioch rather than Rome. Below is one that I have of RIC 29 from Rome. Although Salonina's portraits vary a...
I have it recorded as: MACEDON. Koinon. Pseudo-autonomous. Time of Gordian III (238-244). Ae. Obv: ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ. Diademed head of Alexander III of...
I really love this coin too. It’s facinating to me that this shows a story that many of us know... on a coin that’s nearly 1800 years old. And at...
Here's another one of the series that I've posted several times before that shows the taming of Bucephalus. [ATTACH]
At this time... it would have either been Constans or Constantius II. I think the space allowed for the hard-to-see part of the legend makes me...
That one's hard to find too. You see faked ones here and there, it's nice to see a real one! Nice coin!
Ooooh! I have a coin that is related! My coin below is SB-1762 of Constantine VII and Romanus II overstruck on a SB-1760 of Romanus I, like your...
Taking a wild guess... it looks like the overse legend could read Valerian. I see “...LIC VALERIA...” It’s provincial... reverse legend starting...
I have one of these that saw a lot of use and bought a lot of wine in its day! It's rough but I love it. [ATTACH] Sex. Pompeius. Denarius circa...
To each their own. We obviously value the coins in our collections for different reasons. I’d most times value a coin that is damaged but...
