At a quick glance, it looks like Jupiter is doing a Priapus imitation on this coin. [IMG] Actually, it's just his stomach muscle. But he's still...
Isn't this statue supposed to be of Trebonnius Gallus? Seems strange that the emperor would pose nude if nudity was shameful. [IMG]
The is not enough room on the left side of the obverse to fit PLAVTILLA. Furthermore, coins of Plautilla are generally less common than those of...
Chances are slim (although not 0) that someone would sell a fake $5 coin. If you're looking for something in the $5-10 range, even eBay would...
It looks like the temple at Zeugma, in Commagene. There was a thread about this not too long ago:...
Could be. It looks like there's a bit of ghosting around AtG's lips and chin.
Treashunt was making a joke. There were coins in China during the time of Alexander the Great, and some of the people in this discussion group...
Most likely, mid 3rd century if it is a barbarous antoninianus. But I don't see a radiate crown. To me it looks more like a mid-to-late 4th...

Probably wouldn't be accurate. Hydrogen was the first element formed, probably a few hundred thousand years after the Big Bang. Maybe a million....
Perhaps the OP looks different in hand, but in the photo the coin looks like it has a piece of corrosion adhered to it, as if it had been buried...
Yes. Same with Ptolemaic bronzes.
I've made plenty of attribution mistakes over the years. Not as many now as when I first started with uncleaned coins, of course, but I still...
I agree with Zumbly. Helena. Definitely genuine.
There is also a similar AEIII issue, also from the beginning of his reign: [IMG] (Bronze) AE III Constantinople mint, A.D. 364-367 Obv: D N...
Interesting. When you look at the A's in the obverse in inscription, it looks very different. But it looks very similar to the A's in the reverse...
The coins you've posted have all been in pretty rough shape. They are similar to the type of coins that I started with 30 years ago. That fact...
One of the less common FEL TEMP types. The chi-rho in the standard (which is why the standard is called a laborum in many descriptions) is a...
This is the third coin that I've seen of yours. Are you a new collector? If so, welcome to a great new hobby!
I think he is underrated. You have to consider the mess he inherited. The Empire was at its nadir and on the verge of complete collapse. Gallienus...
