Plamen, I have most of his studies on Celtic coins, as well as several other standard references. Send me a photo. Best Regards, John -- John C. Lavender ...
I just got this small (14 mm) coin. It is quite worn, and has a small flan, so most of the legend is absent, but you can still see enough. The reverse depicts...

The owner of the coin was gracious enough to forward it to me for study which he had attributed as amandus and though i wouldn't attribute it as such i can see...
May 2, 2007 Dear Ras, A very interesting coin and a bit unnerving I may add! Perhaps it is meaningless, but the first "L" is quite separated from "LAVDVS"....
HI All! Well, Ras my be right on this, which is why I felt it was a good idea a fulltime specialist looks it over. It is one of 30 pieces I felt should be...
This may be off because the obverse style looks a little different, like a type from Cyprus, but my guess would be a fraction from Sicily, Messana during the...
HI Kwinto, I have seen similar pieces, in fact I own one very much like this one, except the metal is smooth and there is more of an image. I would suggest...
Hi all, Can anyone help me with this piece? http://tinyurl.com/2987a8 http://tinyurl.com/2b7sq2 which shows a soldier holding a spear looking left. It is...
Ras was right. The coin is very clearly barbarous and copies a Claudius II. I made the inscription that is visible to be CLAVDVS with the top half of the C...
Reminds me of an image I saw in Harlan Berk's work on Byzantine coins -Justin I, if I am not mistaken. No idea here on the undertype. Tom Barbeau ... the ... ...
Hello to all, Thank you to all who responded so far. It seems that the coin is another puzzle to all. I have received mixed opinions that confuse me even more....
Tom and Tom, I think this is Sear Byzantine 815: Heraclius, half follis, mint of Constantinople. O: Heraclius in military dress and Heraclius Constantine ...
Dear colleague, The new section of the website Moneta <http://www.cultura-net.com/moneta> is now in construction (a part is visible). It will receive scholarly...
Hi Kwinto! I think it's from Knidos, like this one: http://wildwinds.com/coins/!.cgi?=greece/caria/knidos/SNGvA_2599cf Lion left, reaching out with its forepaw...
Tom, Justin I didn't date any of his AE coins - I'd think a later time-frame is more likely, perhaps the time of Heraclius? There are plenty of standing-figure...
Greetings! Another list member and I had the pleasure of attending CICF for the fifth time last week and enjoyed ourselves as usual - especially by gawking at...
Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone else has been experiencing particularly long waits for delivery on coins won in European auctions. I had some luck in a...
... I was there as well, all day Thursday, Friday, and Saturday until about 2. The number of dealers who were attending and set up with tables was down a...
I generally have been a consistent frequenter of Ebay when purchasing coins... I must say, prior to joining this group... 100% of my modest collection was via...
I have before me a coin of Maximianus but the problem is the obverse legend is not in RIC that I am able to find anyway. The legend is IMP C MAXIMIANUS PF AVG...
Hello Jeff, The answer to your last question is NO. The person from whom you bought the coins is a dealer, he set the price and has presumably made his...
Jeff, The prices on Coinarchives must be realistic because the prices given are generally what they sold for. However, condition is paramount. The fact that ...
This was my first visit to the CICF, and due to my work load I was only able to attend on Friday. I'm glad that I waited until this year when my collecting has...
Dear all, I recently sent a posting here asking for information regarding ancient Roman Emperors' headwear. Instead of the short replies I was expecting,...
