CNG images are color corrected so that most bronze coins seem to have similar patinas. That may be contributing to the similarity you have noticed. Dave Welsh ...

Many of the tetrarchic folles I've bought from them over the past few years also have pretty much the same uniform smooth black surface. It's pretty to look at...
Kwinto, The coin is a fake dichalkon of Hadrian for a nonexistent Nome. The LIA in the exergue would be the date (Year 11). Barry Murphy ... pretending to be a...
Every major dealer (including Classical Coins) color corrects raw digital images. When thousands of images must be processed in a short time, as is the case...

I am unaware of any stater issue on which Nike walks/faces right. Haven't searched Price, but I haven't seen or heard of such an issue in 17 years as a...
Hi, List I have the image of second coin. That is nothing related. Worse, it lacks the IMP....Legend is not very like the Gallic empire as per Van Meter (I...
... My first reaction after seeing this coin was that it was barbarous. The inscription looks a bit barbarized, along with Nike being anomalous. But your post...
... The inscription is wrong for Domitianus II, as his coins start with IMP C rather than just DOMITIAN, and the portrait has nothing in common with the two...
While CNG photographs of bronzes are normally fairly accurate as to details, I have found their color control is in many cases somewhat less than one could...
Hi, Robert/list I though same as you, although I am no as knowledgeable as you. Postumus with Laetitia as per Van Meter has a proa.... Anyway, the oin in...
... Agreed. I recently had an ex-CNG Nero sestertius on consignment. The CNG image showed a coin with a vivid green patina, while the item listing said a brown...

Dear List Members, I can't seem to find in RIC VI or VII any folles with the SMHT(officina) exergual combination for an IOVI CONSERVATORI Licinius follis I...
Hi Zach, Definitely an unlisted series and seems to date to 312, fitting inbetween RIC VI 65-68 & RIC VI 68-72. There was another from the same series, for...
Thanks Ben! Funny you should be the first to respond - this coin came from the group you and I were looking through together! Perhaps more examples will...
Dear List: The object of my curiosity this week is a small, 10.5mm x 10mm, rectangular metal piece that could be bronze or perhaps lead but definitely not...
