When there's a live auction with bid-caller & video-feed, I do oftentimes leave it playing in the background kinda like watching football on a...
I have no speculation to contribute, but this is really interesting, and I hope more answers are forthcoming this time around. I assume we're...
Fantastic, such a clear horseman motif on the shield and little "ringlets" of hair under the crown. Nikomedia has a very distinctive style even...
Sounds like either an interesting method of slightly raising taxes relative to expenditures or possibly embezzlement. Reminds me of the argument...
I do have a 19g (18.76g, but only 32.5mm) Anastasius Follis, but my extra large Justinians (RY 12-15) are heavier. This one isn't the heaviest (c....
Well, I narrowly missed Faustina Friday it seems, but it might still be an appropriate place to share this one. It is, however, a "Junior" -- and...
While I don't focus on Valentinian's coinage, I do collect "captives" types on Roman coins (some nice examples of emperor-dragging-captives...
Roman Empire, Constantius II Fallen Horseman, Constantinople 348-351 CE. Overweight specimen (7.67g, 25mm, 12h). [ATTACH] Coin-in-hand video:...
Congratulations! It's always very much appreciated when BCD’s tag(s) have been preserved -- but quite a nice prize to get his tag AND photo! A...
Great example! My Alabanda has some kinda unsightly black crust, but these are big impressive coins no matter what, with great Pegasi and...
That would be my first thought, too, but there were people watching it live. I had an appointment that meant I had to leave while the live bidding...
Here's my favorite ever Ti. Quinctius (sadly now foolishly sold) plus the photos of it that I recently found in the "(Richard) Schaefer Binders"...
I've always felt a nice Constantinian AE3 is indeed a lovely coin. They're not as nice (still, nice enough), but I got these 12 coins at VAuctions...
Oh no, don't get me started on Stack's descriptions of ancient coins! Aside from their puffed up superlatives, they also frequently make the most...
Here's my most recent M. Aurelius, a Provincial from Corinth, from the BCD Corinth sale, no. 721 (Lanz 105, 26 Nov 2001; that's the catalog in the...
I noticed a couple other prices that seemed unreasonably high, but this one was by far the most extreme. There was a pair of decent-but-not-great...
Great rhinos, @Hamilcar Barca ! And some other wonderful quadrans collections, @Ryro , @Bing , et al.! I've got a couple of the rhinos but...
I think the past empirical evidence would indicate that war typically causes the prices of ancient coins from that area to drop because coins...
Now, if we could get a brockage Kalathos that would really be something! Since it's more often on the reverse, I only see two on ACSearch.
That's a great find @akeady ! Very few of the C-S coins were sold with prior provenance. I happened to find one that was published in her 1987...
