Nice writeup! Here's a new to me Postumus coin. Although the reverse is struck with worn dies, I liked the uncleaned look. I have another of this...
Thanks @Justin Lee for the help! Wow @Ancient Aussie I love that one. I've always wanted a Lighthouse of Alexandrian coin. I've never been able...
Hi all, I recently received this drachm of Antoninus Pius with Nilus on the reverse and am trying to determine the year... can anyone make...
Tiberius RIC 83 [ATTACH]
Gordian IIIs are so often shinned up that it can be hard to find a nice one not cleaned. Sometimes a silver-ish coin looks better dirty and toned....
Here's another interesting and rare campgate. If I'm not mistaken it is the only bare-headed bust campgate and is not in RIC. My coin is linked on...
Great coin! I have a matching one of Constantine II. These Trier campgates do have some great busts. [ATTACH] I have another one with a cool...

Here's a fun one with Tranquillina. I just really like the green green patina. [ATTACH] THRACE. Anchialus. Gordian III with Tranquillina...
Haha no... I'm sure he's posting this with a wink and knows this is a modern display. But when you find something like this at a antique store as...
Wow, that's an interesting... piece! Seems to be some sort of display made by someone with a coin where they couldn't quite make out the legends....
Yeah that’s what I was thinking too... I understand lemon is often used for silver and not bronze but had also read that “spot” usage (only on the...
Quick question to the group... I have this Victorinus that's been sitting in a jar as a "give away" or "sell" coin for years. It was struck by a...
I’ve always liked that story too. It is also in the Carus section of Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire I believe.
Probably Valens (or Valentinian but legend looks to support Valens).
I was looking for more information on mine awhile ago and posted about it on another forum. You’d need to register to see photos but without...
