Obverse: head of Agrippa left wearing rostral crown. M AGRIPPA L F COS III

Caligula 37-41 A.D., AE As.
Obverse: C CAESAR AVG GERMANICVS PON M TR POT Laureate head right.
Reverse: VESTA S.C. Vesta seated left.
The light sand patina on this coin does a superb job of highlighting the strong state of preservation. The only flaw I want to point out for "full disclosure" is that if you look at 7 o'clock on the obverse, corresponding to 11 o'clock on the reverse, the planchet seem to have a minor "delamination" of the surface there. Contact me if that isn't clear. Even with this, it is a wonderful coin!!

Price: $300

Caracalla 198-217 A.D., Roman Provincial, large bronze, 15.6 grams, 30mm. In an amazing show of skill, Rob Golan indicated in a 15 second attribution that the coin is from Serdica.

The flip from a respected ancients dealer indicates that the coin is not in BMC, Copenhagen, etc. I do not any Roman Provincial reference beyond "GIC" so I cannot verify. Coin is better than scan and extremely interesting Price: $225.

Geta 198-212 A.D., Roman Provincial, large bronze, 16.0 grams, 32mm. If I have decoded some of the Greek lettering on the obverse correctly, this is a coin from Geta. The strike on parts of the coin is tremendous and weakens towards the other side. Rather nice glossy black patina. Notice how there is no more attribution (grin). Again I am unable to further identify the coin. Price: $25 SOLD.

I bought this coin from Guy Clark some time back and we discussed the white spots on it. He believes that the original coin had lead inside of it and that these white spots are where it leached out. Guy Clark has a tremendous background in numismatics so I tend to believe him.
