I'm curious as to why edge-clipping (see this example) is actually rather unusual on RR denarii, considering the lengths people went to make forgeries. Any...
I think the lack of clipping on ancient coins in general can be explained fairly simply. In contrast to the situation with medieval coins, where clipping is...
Dear Andrew et al., I may be showing my naivete/ignorance, but are we necessarily looking at a clipped coin? I see the edge mark but can't tell if this is...

I wonder is a factor in the lower levels of clipping simply that the ancient world (particularly the Republic) was simple richer than mediaeval England, at...
Having spent some more time with Albert's RR handbook I've a few more observations. Bookchecker.com lists a half dozeon sources for it, all at $36. ...
Dear List, I'd appreciate any opinions list members may have regarding whether Thurlow-Vecchi's dating of the Aes Grave series is considered more accurate by...

Cr106 has a distinctive style. Even those examples without the staff have this style so one cannot put them into 56. This issue is worth an article in itself....
Dear Dick, Thanks for pointing out the new symbol! My old eyes see what look to be small leaves on the "handle" or stem, and that perhaps this isn't a tool,...
Richard, Cr 106 has indeed a very distinctive and easy to recognise style, but for those not aware of that fact, classification of the 'anonymous' Cr106 is...
Ken, HNI (Histora Numorum Italy) must be the state-of-art, considering its co-author Andrew Burnett has also been a key protagonist in the debate on dating...
