  1. Looking at the date of when this thread opened, it would be a Alexander life time hemidrachm from Arados which I haven't taken pics of yet and the dealers photos suck... I would welcome 50k because a handful of these smaller then drachm coins would be fun to hold by the hand full
  2. The ref for the Augustus type is RIC I 230 https://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.1(2).aug.230 It could very well be a Tiberius you got, but its hard to make out the legends in the photo, however the way I identified mine for certain aside from the portrait is most of them had "Ceasar" directly to the left field for the Augustus type.. Like so..
  3. Very nice dude. I like this type. I recently bought one like this because the LCS told me it was Tiberius, after some research and comparisons, it turned out to be the Augustus type, still a nice coin but would have been my first Tiberius! Its ok tho, I since got two!
  4. One of my new years resolutions has been filled faster then expected.. it was in my budget and I couldn't resist.. JULIUS CAESAR AR silver denarius. North Africa, 47-46 BC. No legend, diademed head of Venus right. Reverse - Aeneas carrying Palladium, and his father Anchises on his shoulder. RCV 1402. 17mm, 3.5g.
  5. I have had only one from some time ago because the beard spoke to me.. my only Septimius Severus.. SEPTIMIUS SEVERUS AR silver denarius. Struck at Rome, 196-197 AD. L SEPT SEV PERT AVG IMP VIIII, laureate head right. Reverse - HERCVLI DEFENS, Hercules standing right, holding club on ground in right hand, bow in left. RIC 79, RSC 210. 17mm, 3.0g.
  6. Vespasian AD 69-79. Æ Dupondius (27mm, 11.25 g.) Rome mint for use in Syria. Struck AD 74. Obv. Laureate head left. Rev. Caduceus between crossed cornucopias. RIC II 798b (Scarce)
