    Indeed this seems to be the case with most emperors after Gordian III. Also a quite ironic reverse since he's the first emperor to die in Battle 😛.

    The duality of a crisis coin. Crisp obverse die and a completely battered reverse. Hard to pass Gordian III and Trajan decius coins when they're so cheap in high grade 🙃.

    Managed to buy a set of 5 roman (Dura-europos type) belt buckles from Mid 2nd to Mid 3rd century. Not the flashiest type but think of the stories these things could tell if they could talk🙂. Most of the buckle tongues made of iron degraded but on some remnants still remain.

    I wouldn't worry about that, almost all big bronzes are smoothed to an extend and looks great as is 🙂

    I'd definitely be interested but would be causious. With roman antiquities im very comfortable and collect it heavily. Also do have some Anglo-saxon strap ends I collect. Where would one get such artifacts without getting burned? Feel like viking stuff gets faked quite heavily.

    Its indeed hard to tell so ill wait for a reply of Leu. But id be surprised if this were to be a fake, never spotted any fakes at artemide before. Thanks for input 👍.
  16. Victrix
    Yes lol. They make up provenances for most of my coins saying it was purchased before 2012 when I started collecting in 2019 😂.
  17. Victrix
    It's currently still at Leu sadly. What do you mean with what we can see isn't encouraging, anything that stands out? I just dislike the fact they tell me it's suspicious but don't condemn it . Been in contact with Artemide and they say they don't see anything pointing it being a fake. I guess they'd refund me if it were to be, just quite annoyed with the situation 😛 .

    Bought this coin a while ago on Artemide auction with a pedigree from the 1800's. Decided to consign it with leu and shipped it out. Low and behold they tell me they won't. Does anyone else see something I don't ? To me this is a completely normal genuine coin. Quite frustrating 🙃.

    Picked up a nice silvered victorinus which for once has a fresh reverse die !

    Picked up these 2 lovely severan pieces at Artemide today. Really like the busts of both.

    @red_spork Could you shed some more light onto this denarius if you have the time? Bought it as anonymous but from what I can tell it's Sicily aswell staff series. Cheers!
  24. Victrix
    Thank you very much for the info & insight!
  25. Victrix
    The style doesnt look like the work of the Rome mint to me. Looks like some magna graecian city states style but I might be wrong. Thanks 🙂
