Victrix

Well it’s hard to say if it’s a good price when you don’t mention it. But yes this is a genuine denarius.

The coin at Leu strikes me as genuine but I happened to scroll eBay and found a fake that seems to be a match of the coin. Wondering if that coin was used as a mould or if it's a forgery aswell. Thoughts?

Hello friends, Has anyone ever seen one of these before? I never heard of limes ants so I’m quite confused as to what this was used for. A fourree core also makes no sense to me. Any insights ? 😄

I do like the Claudius Abinus denarii struck in Lugdunum before the pivotal battle that would take place there. It kinda fits in with my collection of 'military mints'. It's rough but in high conditions these can go for more then a 1000, so for a 125 hammer I feel like I did very well. 😄 Clodius Albinus as Augustus (AD 195-197) AR-Denarius (16.9 mm, 2.80 g, 11h).

Picked up this early issue of Severus since the bust is quite unique and caught my eye.😄 The legionary coins of Septimius Severus were minted to pay tribute to the legions that assisted his rise to the purple. The op coin was minted in Rome 193AD in honour of Septimius's own legion LEG XIIII GEMMV (Legio XIV Gemina Martia Vitrix) being stationed at Carnuntum. The Legio XIV Gemina Martia Victrix legions symbol was capricorn, these can be soon on the sides of the legionary standards on the reverse. In 117-118 AD, Carnuntum became the permanent quarters of Legio XIV Gemina where it stayed for three centuries until the frontier collapsed in 430AD. Obverse..Laureate head of Septimius Severus, facing right. Legend: IMP CAE L SEP SEV PERT AVG...Imperator Caesar Lucius Septimius Severus Pertinax Augustus. Supreme commander (Imperator), Caesar, Lucius Septimius Severus Pertinax, emperor (Augustus). Reverse..Legionary eagle facing left, between two standards. Legend: LEG XIIII GEM M V TR P COS...Legio Quarta Decima Gemina Martia Victrix(14th martial and victorious twin legion). Tribunicia Potestate, Consul.. Holder of tribunician power, consul.

I regretted selling a bunch of Claudius as coins in the past and had none anymore. This one popped up and managed to win it. Hope it looks a bit darker and with some renaissance wax it should be quite beautiful in color! I hope 🤞

Either way it's in really bad taste to buy subscribers and they clearly did. They should be punished for that in my opinion even if it may be an unpopular one. Plenty of coin youtubers who work hard for their channels.🤷‍♂️

What an amazing piece 🤩.

That I didn't think about that possibility! 😅

Saw this Maximianus Herculius argenteus for sale but it's only 1.8 grams. Never seen one quite this light 🤔

You basically can get get any type in that price range. An antioch tet, a decent sestertius, a minty denarius and dupondii easily too. I personally like the Trajan quadrans a lot but personally a denarius celebrating the dacian wars would never be a bad idea to get.

Guess I'm mixing it up with the 3rd century radiates that are way cruder then these. You reckon mine is an official issue or is an imitation , i'm 50 50 on it 😛. Thanks for the insight tho!

This coin was found in England and the seller claims it's likely an imitation from the area of Dorchester. While the style supports that from the obverse point of view the reverse seems rather normal. Was it often they even added the mintmarks on those imitations? It seems to me they often don't have any. (17mm 2,0g) Thanks for any insight! 😀

Really pleased to add this coin to my collection. Was bidding today on the Helmingham hoard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmingham_Hall_Hoard) that's put up for sale today on Noonan's. Got destroyed on most coins but ended up winning this for my max of 300. I love to have provenance of find spots for my coins so I often go for them if hoards are for sale.
