My girlfriend gave me a very nice AE from Thessalonica with a ram reverse (I’ll post better pictures later, when I have a chance to attribute it),...
I've been to busy to post anything for the last couple of weeks, but don't mistake that for me being less grateful! I'm very happy to see that my...
I love the look of this, and it doesn't seem substantially more labor intensive than typing out my IDs, printing them, and cutting them out before...
US Coins are next :vamp:
I received my gift today; it is a very beautiful coin, and I want to thank my gifted for sharing! I would've waited until the 17th to open it, but...
Leave well enough alone. As you can see from the reverse and the high points on the obverse, it's already been harshly cleaned, exposing bare...
There are some genuine ancient dies out there, for both the Greeks and the Romans. With these cast counterfeits, though, I wonder how we can tell...
I remember seeing this in the US some 10 or 15 years ago, would love to see it again as an adult. Glad to see the opportunity is still there,...
Here’s an interesting coin that came in a lot I got recently. It’s a Parthian style coin, but there’s no way it’s an official issue; take a look...
The treasure laws are what we should be lobbying for everywhere, rather than opposing. It really is the best of both worlds. There’s no scenario,...
I think our coins are siblings, @Curtisimo. I haven't had time to research it properly, but this one is ex-BCD (my only one from the collection),...
Like TIF, I prefer the Guardhouse types as well, and Wizard has the best prices from what I've seen. I used to use Saflips, so I have a mix....
Just to give this thread a quick bump, I wanted to say that I received my copy in the mail today; beautifully designed and professionally printed...
And now, after much work, we have a full catalogue, photographs, two additional coins cleaned (not with electrolysis this time!) and identified,...
Maybe it's old fashioned, but I just have a folder for different emperors (for Roman coins), moneyers (Roman Republic), and cities/states...
Interesting. I think that the fact that New Style tetradrachms depict Athena's hair in the same position is telling. Her hair is usually free...
Fascinating topic, @Jochen. So happy to see the sudden uptick in Alexandrian posts over the last few days! Here's my much less nice Ptah coin:...
Really neat coin, @zumbly! I definitely see the parallels. Both of them remind me of Pharonic iconography depicting Nephthys (the sister of Isis)...
Beautiful type, and beautiful coins. @Severus Alexander's Caracalla Serapis is something to behold, too. I guess it falls into the 'interesting'...
Very happy to see so many people interested in these types. Some beautiful coins posted here; going to have to add Isis Thermouthis and other...
