Offered here for Coin Talk members, discounted quite a bit. I normally have my photos done by someone who does work for CNG and all the 'Big Guys', you have all seen his work. BUT, if I put up my plebeian photos without that expense I can discount quite a bit (and an additional discount for members here). I will of course ship worldwide FREE, no extra fees. I dont add for Paypal or anything else. The price you see is what you will pay. Normally when I do these cheap lists half go to dealers, the rest to astute collectors! Kings of Numidia, Micipsa, 148 - 118 BC AE27, 12.32 grams Obverse: Laureate head of Micipsa left with pointed beard. Reverse: Horse galloping left, pellet below. SNGCop505 Very nice green and brown patina, these are mostly worn in the same way and few are much better. $50 Kings of Cappadocia, Ariarathes V Eusebes Philopater, 163 - 130 BC Silver Drachm, Eusebeia-Mazaca Mint, 18mm, 4.14 grams Obverse: Diademed head of Ariarathes right. Reverse: Athena standing left holding Nike and spear, A above monogram to outer left (reversed on this example), monogram to inner left, D to outer right, GL in exergue.Simonetta14b Nicely toned, an unpublished variant. Most sell around $100. $65 Ptolemaic Kings of Egypt, Ptolemy III Euergetes, 246 - 222 BC AE Triobol, Alexandreia Mint, 32mm, 29.31 grams Obverse: Diademed head of Zeus Ammon right. Reverse: Eagle standing left on thunderbolt, cornucopia to left, monogram between legs.SNGCop173-5 // Svornos965 Most people seem to want at least one of these large and heavy bronze coins. This one still has good details and a nice patina, though very cheap. The average example like this sells for $100. $60 C Cato, 123 BC Silver Denarius, Rome Mint, 19mm, 3.74 grams Obverse: Helmeted head of Roma right, X behind. Reverse: Victory in biga right, C CATO below, ROMA in exergue. Porcia1 // Crawford274/1 // Sydenham417 An inexpensive and decent overall Roman Republican silver. $75 Hadrian, 117 - 138 AD Silver Tetradrachm, Egypt, Alexandria Mint, 23mm, 10.34 grams Obverse: Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Hadrian right. Reverse: Canopus of Osiris right. Emmett827.10 // Dattari7397,8 // Milne1018 A canopic jar was basically a vessel in which the Egyptians placed the soft organs of the body after the embalming process. The 'guts' would putrefy and damage the mummy, so they were separated. This example has some crud on the reverse, so cheap. I imagine one could easily remove, but I dont clean coins myself. Your savings. $30 SOLD! Elagabalus, 218 - 222 AD AE16, Moesia Inferior, Marcianopolis Mint, 2.15 grams Obverse: Laureate head of Antoninus right. Reverse: Fortuna standing left holding scales and cornucopiua. Varbanov1377 (same reverse die) My photo is terrible, but this is a really nice example of (what some may call), a one Assaria piece. Nice and glossy, guaranteed to be at least twice as nice in hand! $30 Gordian III, 238 - 244 AD AE Sestertius, Rome Mint, 33mm, 18.94 grams Obverse: IMP CAES M ANT GORDIANVS AVG, Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Gordian right. Reverse: VICTORIA AVG S C, Victory advancing left holding wreath and palm. RIC258 Struck on a broad and heavy flan. The obverse is really quite killer in person, the reverse is rough as you can see but better in hand. $50 Tetricus II, 273 - 274 AD AE Antoninianus, Colonia Agrippensis or Treveri Mint, 18mm, 2.76 grams Obverse: C P F TETRICVS CAES, Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust of Tetricus right. Reverse: SPES AVGG, Spes advancing left holding glower and raising hem of skirt. RIC270 So what is up with the patina on this one? Examining it and the hoard it came from I have determined that the breaks in the patina are natural. The bright copper you see is original and the details a really nice EF. Unfortunately I do not know the exact details of the hoard. It was purchased several people down from the finder, and some said France, others Germany. $20 Constantine X, 1059 - 1067 AD AE Follis, Constantinople Mint, 30mm, 10.27 grams Obverse: +EMMANOVHL, Bust of Christ facing wearing nimbus cruciger, pallium and colobium, raising hand in benediction, holds Book of Gospels, IC XC left and right. Reverse: +KWN RACILEVC O LOVK, Bust of Constantine facing wearing crown and loros and holding cross and akakia. Sear1854 What else to say? Decent Byzantine copper with portrait of Christ. $20
