VID-20240328-WA0014.mp4 Those Vota types are typically very well struck, and easy to find in EF grades. Sometimes it's hard to believe they're ancient coins. Great choice for a first follis! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAZ Numismatics Posted April 1 · Member Share Posted April 1 An unusually good bronze of Antiochus I Soter, Apollo seated on Omphalos type. Those of you that collect Seleucid know how rough the bronzes are. A well-struck coin with no deposits and an unbroken patina is pretty scarce... 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn235 Posted April 3 · Member Share Posted April 3 Small mail day last week First, is an upgrade - an unassuming coin of a major rarity in the Roman Imperial set - Commodus with his younger brother Annius Verus. Annius Verus is known only from this type (two obverse legend variants of the same type), a couple types of medallion, and *possibly* the "four seasons" series of quadrans, although I believe the last has been debunked. The old coin, which I suppose now I need to figure out the best way to sell.... And secondly, a type I had my eye on for a while and finally won a middling specimen at a lowball bid AE10 of Spithridates, Achaemenid satrap of Lydia. Best known for being the man who almost killed Alexander the Great at the Battle of Granicus - he was about to land a blow from behind when one of Alexander's generals cut his arm off, saving Alexander's life. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Anthos Posted April 5 · Member Share Posted April 5 I just got this little gem from JAZ a few days ago, and I've been trying to photograph it. But it's very small and very dark and I just couldn't get a decent image so I've gone with the dealer photo, just lightened a bit to show the detail...

ela126 Posted April 5 · Member Share Posted April 5 (edited) Picked this one up several weeks ago. Bit of a rarity so despite the Fine condition, I thought I’d grab it. Contains the main points of the readable legend, worried portrait of the emperor, and the XXX for 3/4 Follis. I believe this is a year 6 (G) as it is the only Constantinople officina B example I’ve come across. These Phocas three quarter folli are considerably less common than the Tiberius II 3/4 folli. Phocas 602-610 3/4 Follis Constantinople SB 641 9.66g 28 x 26.5mm Edited April 10 by ela126 updated likely regnal year per new information 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
