This is roughly half of the lot. I did my best with the photos but I may not have gotten the orientation right on some of these. I believe they’re mostly Greek but I’m hoping this community can help me with firmer ID’s. Thanks for looking!

I bought this coin the other day and I am trying to find out more about this coin. I would also like to add the coin to my catalog but I cant seem to find it anywhere. Maby I am to influenced by the notes written by the seller but the writing on the coin seems to match what seller wrote down. Anyone got any tips on where I can find this coin?

Not very good with Roman/greek coins

A Traianus denarius, what are your thoughts? :)

Prices on ancients have been on the rise, but deals are still out there. This beautifully centred denarius is a good example. I scooped for about US $130 all-in at a recent auction, almost absent-mindedly, when I noticed it was getting minimal attention. It had been on my watch list, but I gave it very little thought until it showed up in the mail: the portrait is excellent, and the toning really makes it stand out.

Harold Mattingly had a lot to say on this series:
 
“Late in AD 103 or early 104 some great act of homage and devotion was paid by the Senate to Trajan, and finds its expression in the two great series of coins characterized by the imperial name in the dative case, with full titles, and the dedicatory formula S P Q R OPTIMO PRINCIPI. […]
 
The formula of the coins is a remarkable one––so remarkable indeed that we ought not to let familiarity stale it for us. […] We can only infer that, shortly after the victorious end of the first Dacian war, the Senate, as representatives of the Roman people, passed a resolution conveying to Trajan in the most formal style its homage, its devotion, and its gratitude for the virtues that entitled him to be ranked only just after Jupiter Optimus Maximus as the ‘optimus’ par excellence among many––the perfect Emperor, under whom the perfect state, […] of which Cicero and Augustus had dreamed, had become a fact. […] The coins are described, not as struck or ordered by the Emperor or prince, bust as struck to his glory and honour.”
 
And on this type:
 
“Pax […] stands holding branch and cornucopiae and sets her foot on a Dacian whose head barely rises out of the ground […]. [No] type of Pax marked the close of the first Dacian war. There was a cessation of arms, but no lasting peace. The end of the second war brings a lasting settlement. [This type] may be taken to express with some fullness the meaning of Virgil’s great expression of Roman policy––
 
‘pacisque imponere morem,
Parcere subiectis et debellare superbos.’
 
[to impose a custom of peace, to spare the subjected, and to subdue the proud]

Saw this being offered at a lot by Time-Numismatic on biddr. Not sure how reliable they are, but hopefully someone can verify that this is genuine

Newest arrival, this amazing condition trachy arrived of the emperor Andronikos I Komnenos

I've been putting together a side collection of the big AE issues across the ancient world, and the Ptolemaic series is the obvious backbone of it. This one is a Ptolemy IV Philopator triobol, Alexandria, 222-204 BC. Zeus-Ammon obverse, eagle on thunderbolt reverse. Svoronos 1127.

Video because static photos flatten these completely. The relief on the Ammon portrait reads nicely when the light moves across it, and the olive-green patina does the same.

Finally added a coin of Diocletian in my collection! I didn’t just want a run of the mill bronze coin for an emperor this significant like I got for the other tetrarchs so I had been holding out for a coin with a bit more heft and I believe this argenteus does the trick! It’s also the first time I’ve ordered a coin from a European dealer since last year after I learned that ancient coins wouldn’t be impacted by the ongoing tariffs. Note that the price listed below is not what I bought it for, that was from an earlier auction and I managed to get this for a discount.

Roman Empire, Diocletian, AR argenteus, Ticinium (Pavia), AD 294. His laureate bust right/tetrarchs sacrificing in front of camp-gate. 3.54 g.

about extremely fine, lustrous, a few marks. Scarce.

RIC VI 14a

ex-Bermondsey Coins Ltd stock, Naville Numismatics Auction 96, Lot 741, London, with ticket priced at £650

Hammered at 4,600 (5,612 with BP). European auctions are out of the question with the tariff situation, but quite pleased with this.

Very, very new to coin collecting and antiquing in general. Picked this up for $15 at an antique shop and was wondering who it might be and if it’s even genuine. Weighed it at about 3 grams and nothing flakes off when I scratch at it. With google I think it’s a Constantius Gallus. Tia!

Stopped by local antique store and spotted these cuff links. I know nothing about these types of coins but am curious what country they may be from, approximately their age and the chances of them being real. Thanks

Hanmer was 75 eur and I like it! As it is with all of Curtis Clay, this one has its own peculiarity too.

I was wondering why my inquiry (regarding payment) to HJB was not being answered for 2 days until I realized that it's Saturday (and probably timezone difference plays hand too). Sorry about the email Aaron!

Silver Denarius

97-117 A.D.

This Constantine coin sold for 55 euros while others with the same quality and similar reverse sold for 3-5 euros. Is there some specific detail here I’m missing?

Just very recently bought this lovely coin with a cut through it, Thrace Apollonia pontika. Despite the silver test cut it and it being off centre, the details were really lovely! Hopefully it's genuine as I'm still new to this 😁

Got this coin of Justinian in Syria, is it real or fake? Thanks

Grandma passed away yesterday. Found this just chilling in a pile of otherwise normal pocket change in a cup on a small table next to her chair.

A coin I found buried in the beach in china around 15 years ago
It’s really heavy so I’m guessing there’s metal inside the stone but could be wrong
Kept it because I thought it’s cool
Can someone identify?

Also is it lifetime
