Love it Jay. Great JC as well. I love that type and have chased them before..but can't run fast enough to catch one!

Congrats!

Thanks!

Traded a duplicate Antony and a worn Calabrian silver for this Republican beauty:

Great all round coin with wonderful toning and some really nice detail, particularly the horns on Philips head.

Forgot to mention, this is believed to be the first Roman coin with an historical person depicted on it rather than a deity or personification.

Two new pictures of old coins. The old pics were blurry and poorly photographed. I think these new photos are much better

The Balbus in particular is very nicely shot.

Interesting coins Jay. I don't know anything about the issues but I like the look of them. Your photography really brings them to life too!

This metal detector find from the Ukraine arrived today. It was sold as a fouree but on close inspection shows no signs of being plated. A small chip in the patina behind Marcus' head shows bright silver under magnification. Weight is a bit low at 2.5g
Just checking the attribution as we speak.

I've found RIC 259 with the correct legends but with Roma seated instead of Victory. Any help please?

Mark Z · « **Reply #140 on:** April 16, 2013, 06:29:10 pm »

Jay,

Looking at RIC III and your coin looks like/is RIC 258 (Common).

Jay GT4 · « **Reply #141 on:** April 16, 2013, 06:50:48 pm »

Thanks Mark, I don't have RIC only Sear and whatever online resources exist. But isn't 258 TRP XXV? Mine is TRP XXVI

Jay,

According to RIC, it's TRPXXVI for both 258 and 259.

TRPXXV (Dec. 170-Dec. 171) is in the series RIC 227-251.

TRPXXVI (Dec. 171-Dec. 172) is in the series RIC 252-267.
