I ran across this interactive story on a found hoard of Alexander decadrachms. It's very interesting... trust me, watch this. It raises some...
It's Valentinian II. You can read the obverse legend.. "DN VALENTI......PF AVG" I can't read the mint mark in these photos... but it wouldn't be...
Here are the coin photos from your earlier Maximian coin post and the notes for that coin. The book dates the coins from November to December 307....
That's a great book. My copy has all of the pages. I don't get to use out of mine as I only have 20-ish London mint coins from the period. I guess...
Here's my Salonina. Half of the reverse legend is off flan so I like yours better. [ATTACH] CONCORDIA AVGG RIC 63 While looking for this one in...
@frankjg that’s a great coin! i love architecture coins. I enjoy researching the what the ruins of those buildings would have looked like.
2014!? Ha, I have a lot of similar coins that need more love... that’s exactly what this thread is for! I think I have one of these too. I’ll post...
Here's one that I bought really early in my collecting. I've gone back and forth between it being authentic and not over the years... It's really...
Great coins! The great thing about that Ptolemy X tetradrachm is that someone over the years didn't polish it up all nice and silver shinny. I...
Just go with the phone photos! I have a great camera... but never seem to have time to get great photos either. I've just settled lately for...
They are fun! But... I guess I'm a bit pampered with Roman imperials where you can not only tag the ruler quickly but also the mint and maybe the...
With no new coins due to the holidays, I'm tackling all of the 'lonely rejects!' I have a lot of these the waiting-room tray. The nice ones get...
My other challenge tonight is these ugly ducks with gibberish legends... some attributions say Valerian, some say Volusian... The legends don't...
The closest I can find is SNG Kop. 244 on acsearch... below is an example but no beard... and I need beard to be satisfied with this attribution!...
Sweet! Thanks! It looks like he has 788a covered. I'm guessing the 788c is a variant with a star. These coins are cool but with so many the same,...
Ahhh! Awesome, someone who knows these! PS: I haven't forgotten that I owe you a meet-up for some coining talk. ...my excuse is that my 2.75 year...
I wouldn't call it a "cabinet" but I do have some fakes that I keep. Most fake coins I have (that I know of) I've bought for fun, knowing they...
Back on for late night coining... I'm not working on anything pretty or easy tonight... I'm trying to nail down attributions for these three...
Here's what the legends mean if you're interested. CONSTANTIVS PF AVG = Constantius P (Pius) F (Felix) Aug (Augustus):"Constantius, pious,...
I get what Doug is saying about people who set values on coins for more than they're worth, just because the coin is 1750 years old. But I don't...
