Greek Coins / Re: BMC Caria Plate?

« Last post by Altamura on Today at 02:21:05 am »

... The coin was sold as being from 88-84 BCE, ... but coins from that era should have  Helios facing forward, shouldn't have an incuse reverse ...

Indeed there are Rhodian coins with Helios looking to the right and an incuse on the reverse, dated to 88-84 BC:

Perhaps you should show us your coin to clarify that further  .

The Members' Gallery / Re: My Byzantine Solidus Gallery

« Last post by cmcdon0923 on Today at 12:22:13 am »

I just uploaded the last of the coins from my collection of Byzantine solidi.

I was finally able to get the coins from the bank to fill in some missing information for the last few coins before uploading them.  I was also able to fill in some missing weights and diameters for a few coins, that I didn't have in my records.

It was actually a fun process, which allowed me to spend some time with each of the coins.  And as a result, I've identified one or two that I will want to upgrade with better condition pieces.  These were mostly some of my earlier purchases when I was still in a "I need one of those" collector mode.

I've also looked at the emperors I still need.  Some of them will be relatively easy to find, and a few others, not so much.

I also may look at adding a brief one paragraph bio for each emperor, to make the galley a bit more educational as opposed to just a picture gallery.

I hope y'all enjoy looking at the coins as much as I did getting the gallery to this point.

Très intéressante hypothèse Amictus. Voici d’autres revers avec le C rétrograde, mais un seul du même coin que les deux spécimens présentés dans le post original..

Identification Help / Help with roman coin

« Last post by Jerzy K on Yesterday at 07:40:56 pm »

Hello All

I found what I think is a roman coin? The obverse is obliterated and I only have a good reverse to go on. It appears bronze, approx 20mm. It seems to show a temple of some sort?

Any help or knowledge much appreciated as I cannot find similar in my reference books!

Thanks in advance, Joe

Identification Help / Re: Coin by Antonius Felix?

Hi,

I think it is Antoninus Felix. Although off centre it looks to be crossed shields and the "CP" is actually part of Nero's name in Greek letters NEPW, the E being a curved letter.

Above the tree on the other side there is BP part of the word BPIT for Britannicus.

I don't have Hendin so can't comment whether the catalogue number is actually correct.

Regards,

Mauseus

Identification Help / Coin by Antonius Felix?

« Last post by Paul B4 on Yesterday at 05:29:30 pm »

Might this be a Hendin 1348 AE prutah by Antonius Felix?
What do you think of the apparent CP on the obverse?
I am helping a friend with this coin and only have these photos without size and weight. 
Thank you.
