I have one more coin to post, from the same source as the Caracalla tetradrachm. I do not own this coin. I think this is a tetradrachm (13.2...
Thank you, Alwin. You hit the nail on the head!
Thank you, Al. When it comes to Caracalla, I am basically lost beyond the issues from Antioch and Tyre. This area of Roman coinage (silver...
I just got these photos today from a friend in Israel who needs help in determining the rarity and value of this tetradrachm of Caracalla. The...
Thank you. Yes, the old British (pre-decimal) system is quite confusing. That's why the made the switch in 1971. Perhaps this link will help:...
Found it. I thought I would need to hire a search party, but I found it without too much trouble. This coin came from my local coin dealer in...
Yes, the coin should have been left alone, based on the photos of the reverse. It is, after all, an ancient coin and not a US penny. Still, if...

Wonderful coins! The obverse of the denier is almost modernist in rendering, and the denga is well centered and struck, with a wonderful Russian...

Thanks The dealer, based in Florida, sells all sorts of stuff from local estates and other sources, so this object came to me with scant...
Here's a carving that I assume is Egyptian. I purchased it on eBay several years ago. It appears to be made of marble, and it basically square...
I really like the dynamism of the reverse of honorable mention 1, 2 and other coins. The Philip tetradrachm is top notch and the discourse...
I love the obverse motif of #8, the Helios Hekte. #9, the Messana Æ Dilitron has a beautiful patina and excellent strike. The Syracuse...
While all of your coins posted are excellent examples, #1 is a standout, an example of the epitome of Hellenistic medallic art.
Wonderful examples. #'s 1, 3 and 4 stand out, but, on the principle of "first among equals" all of the coins you posted deserve praise.
The two sestertii are really nice, especially the Severus Alexander sestertius, with its sharp portrait and reverse. The Apollo didrachm has both...
I don't have any experience with Papillon, but if the coin was left in your mail box November 9th and you never received it, try contacting your...
