Hello! I believe you may have a Roman Provincial Coin from Nicaea in Bithynia. The type with Severus Alexander of about that size is pretty common. Does it...
First, a small bit of advice: it helps if you can add a direct link to the image; if you can get it into your browser, you can cut the Address window's ...
That is a very clever idea to add the aluminum foil! You've done a great job of attribution; a pity the mintmark seems to be obliterated. I can't really add...

Forgive me if this has been posted before: The "Ancient Coin Museum" sponsored by ACE has gotten a write up in the local paper in Washington, Pennsylvania. ...

I am a teacher in Louisville, KY at Louisville Male High School. My Latin students and the Latin students of Judy Thomas will be sending in questions to the...
Just checking to see if this is the address that my students are to use to post questions to the numismatists. Thanks for any help you can offer. If this is...

Yes! I hope the students all know that there are no stupid questions (though I have to confess that there are, sometimes, stupid answers!~) - Dave Surber...
Hello, my name is Garrett K. Sorry if this isn't how I was supposed to contact you, but on the website I couldn't find where to put in the user name and...
Garrett, I have replied repeatedly to you about your coin but my messages keep bouncing so I'm going to try the ACEhelp group at large - here goes: Garrett, ...
Here is an image of the denarius of the coin Mark describes. http://tjbuggey.ancients.info/images/AntPivsTemple1a.jpg The attribution = Obv: ANTONINVS AVG PIVS...
Good work Tom, I was working from memory, but your description is far more scholarly - I'm really interested to see what denomination this turns out to be. I...

Garrett, Actually, that was Dr. Tom Buggey who posted the address. Your coin will either be a silver denarius (if so, spectacular find in an average uncleaned...
Hi! We seem to have gotten three coins of Constantius II whose reverses show the emperor standing with a spear and globe. The only image I've found of this...
Hi Kate, I think this is similar (possible mint variation) of the design you are referring to: (If it is this first one it appears to be a very Rare coin R5) ...
Hi, Here's another question (can you tell that it's the end of the school year and we're taking care of all the loose ends?). We have several VOT[IS] XX...
First, the rarity 5 mentioned in that Wildwinds entry is the scale of the dealer who posted it using a 1 to 10 scale of his own manufacture. RIC calls it 'C'....
