Open: so coin with old pedigree [ATTACH] Attribution: RIC IV 217 Antioch (correction - Rome/Milan) Date: AD 251-253 Obverse: IMP C C VIB...
I had to adjust my ma-shops preference; I really hated the new stuff email spam. Per ma-shops, I'll make maybe 0-4 buys a year (with the average...
Great pickup, as always! I would assume that Parthian silver and Sasanian silver circulated side-by-side during the early Sasanian period? My...
Thank you. There's probably about a 90% chance that it was part of a group lot.
Very nice piece! So I guess that narrows the search down to the first sale...
I'm not sure why the Severus is hanging around at the bottom of the post. I had to copy and paste the image, because the filename was too long...
First of all, does anyone have a scan of Christie's 7-2-68 and 11-12-68? Or, can you look up to see if this coin was in there as a solo lot? If...

Yes, there's always the band hobby and some other long-time hobbies. It's still perfectly enjoyable to read coin posts. I just don't think I'll...
Not trying to get into any verboten topic or anything political. I don't have either the time or energy for that. I mention the tariffs only...
I collect mainly ancients and medieval coins. Sometimes early modern. Basically if it's struck and it's cool. I only have two modern coins, one...
I love toning, but like Butt-Head would say, "Umm, no." One could get a really rare ancient, like Eugenius or Constantine III for that.
I would avoid it. Go with your gut, especially for a hefty purchase. It could be perfectly innocent. Young people especially prefer cashApp,...
While she (on the OP coin) is no Southern U. Dancing Doll, to be fair, the husband isn't any looker. I always thought that both Severina and that...
I'd pick the most expensive of the bunch and trade it for a commensurate ancient.
(Unless I missed it) There's also the opportunity buyer; buying if some rarity pops up or is in some coveted category.
Yes, I'd much rather have an ugly Jovinus or Sebastianus than an EF Hadrian (which I'd also like to have). Mine's a qualified answer; If the...
