This is another coin purchased from our fellow CT member a couple of months ago. I just haven't taken the time to present it here in open forum until now. I now have it in my 12 Caesar's presentation case. TITUS AR Denarius OBVERSE: IMP TITVS CAES VESPASIAN AVG P M Laureate head of Titus to right REVERSE: TR P IX IMP XV COS VIII P P Wreath on curule chair Struck at Rome, January-June 80AD 3.41g, 19mm RIC 108 Ex JAZ Numismatics Please post any coin you think even remotely connected. Happy coining all!
Boy, if I posted all my Ex JAZ Numismatics coins, the list would be extensive (at least 15 coins, maybe more). A shame I didn't notice that Titus. I'd have loved to give you a run for the money. I definitely would have bid on it. Oh well, awesome score @Bing I guess this coin is remotely connected...my Ex. JAZ Numismatics denarius of Titus' father, Vespasian.
Here is an ex JAZ coin: CILICIA, Tarsos AR Obol 379-372 BC 9 mm, 0.65 grams Obv: Facing female head turned slightly left, wearing single-pendant earrings and necklace. Rev: Bearded and helmeted male head (Ares?) left wearing crested Athenian helmet; 'HLK' in Aramaic to left, no monogram to right. Grade: aVF with good fabric and toning. Attractive, well centered tiny coin with only a portion of the reverse Aramaic legend & some crest off flan. Other: Time of Satraps Pharnabazos and Datames. Casabonne Series 2, SNG Levante 89 var. without monogram. This coin (same coin) was previously listed by Naville Numismatics in their live auction #9, 14 Sep 2014. NN attributed it to Göktürk 21-2 var. (fish on obv?); SNG France 303. From JAZ Numismatics May 2016.
A nice coin, instead of my titus I will show a chair. PUBLIUS FURIUS CRASSIPES (84 B.C.) AR Denarius O: AED CVR, turretted head of Cybele right. Long oval gouge and tool mark across Cybele's head (al marco weight adjustments). R: Curule chair inscribed P FOVRIUS, CRASSIPES in exergue. Rome Mint 3.9g 20.5mm RCV 275 Publius Furius strikes here not as moneyer, but as a special issue in his role as Curule Aedile, hence the curule chair bearing his name.
Hmmmm... We are on JA52 auction and will probly be JA53 this week. I have only missed one or two, and even have bought multiples in some of the auctions... So, I might conservatively have 50-60 of his. Generally, they are not my collecting focus, so they are really fun adjuncts to my collection! So... This is my FIRST item I captured from John... and I actually carried in my pocked for a while: Ex: @John Anthony RI Aurelius Marcus 161-180 AE Sestertius S-C Obv-Rev.jpg I am interested in your $25 Marcus Aurelius... Marcus Aurelius AE As; Rome, AD 145. Obverse: AVRELIVS CAESAR AVG PII F, bare head right. Reverse: TR POT COS II S-C, Minerva standing right with spear & shield. RIC 1266 [Pius] Roman Imperials are NOT a focus of mine: TITUS:
At some point this summer I had my one-year anniversary as a dealer. It all started with that lot Bing sent me in the summer of 2015. I count almost 500 coins sold since, total sales over $38,000. Not too shabby for a vest-pocket dealer. A huge thank you to all of you! As long as you're having fun, I'm having fun.
Maybe related... Caesar Augustus, 27 BC - AD 14 Æ24, 8g, 12h; Antioch mint, 4/5 BC. Obv.: AΡXIEΡEI KAIΣAΡ ΣEB; Laureate head right. Rev.: AΡXIE / ΡATIKON / ANTIO/ XEIΣ / ZK within wreath of an archiereus. Ex JAZ Numismatics
I have just one from JA (you're probably wondering what's wrong with me lol). Either I didn't have coin money at the time (most times), or the auction didn't have anything of interest for me. The one I do have is a Antoninus Pius denarius I bought from him a couple of months ago.
I know how you feel. I wish JAZ Numismatics' auctions had 8-9 silver coins and only 2-3 bronze coins per auction, instead of the other way around. Oh well, first world problems.

#11 #12 Not included are 5 bronze coins I've given away, so that's 17 total purchased and 12 still in my collection. So many nice silver coins Did I mention I like silver? * Note to future Secret Santa, Indian/Indonesian medieval silver is very cheap and I hardly have any.

There have been lots of great JAZ coins but this one will always stick in my memory (because I didn't place a bid). If I'm not mistaken, our good friend Alegandron got it (the lucky puppy).
