Interesting write-up! I have been looking for (and unsuccessfully bidding on) a Thasian tetradrachm, and I have wondered about the imitations...
What?! I won something?! Wohoo! Right now, I'm grinning like this Postumus and am about as happy as Felicitas on the reverse: [ATTACH] Postumus,...
I'll have to contribute the "crabby headdress:" [ATTACH] Bruttium, The Brettii, AE ¼ unit, ca. 211–208 BC. Obv: head of Amphitrite l., wearing...
This has to be @Parthicus! As his name says, he usually prefers Rome's even more eastern foes. Yet, Mithridates VI still is from "the east" and if...
EDTA might work. If you search for it here on CT, you will find results and further info.
That's a lovely example, Donna! Because of the comical elephant head, I personally call this type the "Dumbo denarius." Mine also has an old...
I enjoyed reading your write-up – now I want a "hieroglyph" Victorinus! Both of my current coins of this Gallic emperor unfortunately have no...
Wonderful coins and write-up, @+VGO.DVCKS ! As you know, these are right down my alley of interest. As stated above, I think that very much...

Don’t do a test cut! Please don’t! I have my thoughts but know too little about these to give you an opinion of any value, so you might want to...

There is an article by Richard Ashton which argues that a specific series of Rhodian didrachms probably shows the head of the Colossus. In...
This has to be @Theodosius , I reckon! We all know him as a true connoisseur of fine style and high grade, but weren't we all a bit less picky...
I assume that in your example, someone else entered a bid that didn't exceed the previous one of bidder 6259. Therefore, they still showed up as...
In economics, the underlying principle is called "Gresham's Law:" an influx of bad money tends to remove good money from circulation. As many...
Another (very late) medieval coin with a lily. I'm just 50 miles away from Strasbourg, and I would love to visit soon and spend an hour or two in...
That would indeed be sad. Do you have any further information on this? Congratulations on the new coin, Donna! It is a very attractive example of...
Very nice coin and write-up, @Curtisimo ! I enjoed reading it. Here is an "eternal hope" that turned bad quite soon after: [ATTACH] Geta, Roman...
A teriffic coin! This has to be @Curtisimo . Most others would post such a piece on CT immediately after having it in hand – only he would keep...
I am very confused by the whole statement. I limit myself to the four weirdest points: 1.) Quote from UW library: "Beyond their value as...
