Your Coins on Wildwinds Thread

The past two weeks i've had several coins of mine get posted on wildwinds. Some I knew I was gonna send to be posted but a couple of my purchases that are a year & older I saw were not on it so it was a pleasant surprise to see they were accepted by Dane.

So I figured since we have threads dedicated to other subjects, why not have one for Wildwinds just for fun.

Good stuff Mat, as always. I suppose I could submit a bunch of Nabataeans, but I doubt anyone would care.

 

27 of the tesserae on that site are in my collection.

 

I think these are my only 2. I havent submitted many either lol

Interesting topic! I have none to post but thanks for the reminder-- I have a few that should be submitted as there currently are none on ww or coinproject.

Steve-- you should submit your Kisthene coin!

 

As far as I know I have just one, but on the other hand, I didn't check any further


Vitellius, Denarius
Rome mint, July - December 20, AD69
A VITELLIVS GERMAN IMP TR P, Laureate head of Vitellius right
XV VIR SACR FAC, Tripod-lebes with dolphin lying right on top and raven standing right below
3.43 gr, 16-18 mm
Ref : RCV # 2201var, Cohen cf # 110 et suiv, RIC I # 86 (this example illustrated in Wildwinds)

Q

 

Wrong! Send them in, JA! It will help the rest of us.

 

When I first looked at the description of this coin, I read the reverse legend as XV VIR SCAR FACE and thought... whoah, cool, 1st century mafia. Now all I can think of when I look at the portrait is that it resembles a mob boss's mugshot.

 

I have this sweet baby on Wildwinds:

Constantius I AE Follis

Date: 301-303 AD
Diameter: 28.5 mm
Weight: 10.1 grams
Obverse: CONSTANTIVS NOB C - Laureate and cuirassed bust left, holding sceptre over left shoulder
Reverse: GENIO POPVLI ROMANI - Genius standing left, holding patera over altar and cornucopiæ; B right, PLC in ex. (Lugdunum mint)
Reference: RIC 167a
Other: Superb and bold portrait



... I know that I have a couple more on Wildwinds, but sadly I've forgotten which coins?

 

Wine fried?

 

ahaha ... ummm, perhaps? (I forget)

Actually smart guy, the reason is more associated with the fact that I myself haven't ever sent a coin to Wildwinds ... I merely buy coins from Batman and/or others who have sent them in to Wildwinds. Therefore, because I didn't go through the process, the ol' coin-memories aren't etched-into my brain.

 

Ummm, wine fried?

 

exactly

 

Sweet Vitellius Cue. Still need him myself.

Cool portrait on the constantius I, I need him too but being from an era where I find the coins boring, I dont look hard at them.

 

These are all mine on wildwinds:
