Coins of the Tripolis mint are interesting and have a distinctive style. If you haven't visited Valentinian's Tripolis page, its worth a visit.
My second post on this thread is to share only variations of Roma portraits. Many of these are not considered "high art", but have their own...
This first post is all but Roma. Because I have so many coins with Roma Obverse I will share a few of these variations separately. Athena....
@Justin Lee great selection of coins. I like the Victoriatii. Both the RRC 53/1 and the 166/1 are very good well centered examples of these two...
These terms indicate the die alignment orientation, turning the coin horizontally. I believe the "H" stands for hour, so 12H will point the top...
This is one of my favorite areas of numismatics. Years ago I sold most of my Folles to focus on Roman Republican coins, but I came back a couple...
Goal: De-focus a bit. This is my second post on this thread because I've thought about it more deeply since my first and I realize I would like to...
Yours is a fabulous example of group 5 denarius. It is a rare sub-style, having prehaps the most classic obverse character of all of the 44's....
@TIF My favorite is all 10 at once. Such a variety of interesting types is appealing in itself. Hope to hear more from you in 2021.
Aidan, Somehow I missed this post so I will chime in here. Great array of versatility and style. I like it that you included the modern items....
Fine additions to your collection. The "Mistake rectified", #6 is my favorite.
My only coin of faustina is a denarius with Fortuna reverse, RIC 348. somewhat identical to the Providentia reverse except without the veil, and...
But we pick up a bit of these languages in the process of learning about our coins. Almost everything I know about Greek and Latin comes from my...
My collection contains more coins from CNG than any other single dealer/auction house. I have coins that I bought from Victor England before he...
Over the years, most of my coins have been purchased at auction. Usually because I find coins that I want at auction and rarely in retail...
I have a fondness of the earliest denarii. To complete my collection of the RRC 44/5 varieties, I need the "limp tail" variety Group 7 in my...
@red_spork There are so many here it's hard to isolate to a few as favorites. The Corn ear denarius is quite rare and iconic. If you posted this...
Fantastic example Jordan. Complete, historically significant, and remarkable style. Merry Christmas.
@kazuma78 Thanks for sharing this remarkable group of coins. I voted for #1, 2 and 7. I like it that you also collect (semi) modern coins. I...
@Michael Stolt , all are amazing but I think you own the finest known club denarius. Exceptional condition, but totally unimprovable style.
