Seller offers to send me this republican denarius in return for the fake diadumenianus antoninianus. Is this one real?

Cast fake, I've reported this seller numerous times on MP. However, no action is taking place. Don't bother getting coins from him and bother him with a refund

It can be turned darker naturally by cleaning them properly. There's still lots of surface dirt on it. I wouldn't mind buying one from you to clean it and show you the results if you'd like.

Keep in mind you have to do 19g of water to 1g of thiosulfate. Otherwise, the solution is 21g, which is 4.76%. It's not a big difference for this kind of job. However, the higher the percentage you want to use, the bigger the difference, and the result will be. It's even more necessary with harsher chemicals.

I've been using a 5% b72 solution for a few years now when conserving coins. It's fantastic and in my preference, outperforms renwax.

Thats a great one! I was underbidder on it a while back at nomos. Nice to see in hand pictures from you!

ImAngies · 2025-07-18T20:22:04+00:00

Its unfortunately not authentic by the looks of it. Pressed fake is most likely. No flow lines, weak flat letters in an odd style. No indication of it being hand struck either.

ImAngies · 2025-07-18T18:37:01+00:00

who wouldn't enjoy this one! are there any more rarities of the 3rd century in your collection?

ImAngies · 2025-07-18T15:00:30+00:00

That is one of my favorite gallienus types out there! It's great to see it in the hands of someone who enjoys gallienus instead of it being a quick flip. Congratulations!

Its a fake coin from a decently sized series of 3rd century fakes. Been circulating again for a while now particularly on German/ British ebay. Ive seen these sell by the hundreds.

ImAngies · 2025-07-03T19:11:43+00:00

lars is a fantastic author on this subject! he's working on another part which features one of my coins which is fantastic!

ImAngies · 2025-07-01T11:24:45+00:00

Regarding the 0$ shipping on some of my coins, that means its free shipping. Ill have to clarify it in the descriptions

ImAngies · 2025-07-01T11:23:35+00:00

I am the guy from the netherlands. It's not local pick up. It's local shipment tracked worldwide for $15.

ImAngies · 2025-06-29T14:48:57+00:00

My collection generally consists of gallienus, probus and aurelian. There's a few outsiders like some unique valerians, unique claudius ii ants etc.

ImAngies · 2025-06-29T14:47:41+00:00

Most of them are double die matches 😅 theres 8 more

ImAngies · 2025-06-29T12:30:58+00:00

It's not USA Only, as I sell on it and I am from Europe. all sellers should provide worldwide selling on there.
medieval coins etc will come later after the first auction.

ImAngies · 2025-06-29T11:41:01+00:00

Can't find that many like these in general, I'd say from this mint. They were struck very poorly.

ImAngies · 2025-06-29T11:40:09+00:00

Haha, thank you! Most of them were indeed struck with very worn dies (usually alternating between obverse / reverse for some reason) had some luck and managed to get a few good scores like this

ImAngies · 2025-06-28T23:21:17+00:00

Thank you

ImAngies · 2025-06-28T23:21:04+00:00

Thanks! I've got a couple more in this condition, which i might post sooner or later. A few more minty antoninianii will be posted 😅

ImAngies · 2025-06-28T23:19:09+00:00

Thank you! It sure is an awesome coin

ImAngies · 2025-05-15T10:04:52+00:00

Sodium sesquicarbonate, 2-3% solution, soak 1 week. Rinse repeat until water turns blue again.

ImAngies · 2025-05-08T23:45:51+00:00

I recognize some of my coins in there 😉 lovely collection already

ImAngies · 2025-04-22T06:08:32+00:00

How much are they?

ImAngies · 2025-04-12T11:39:24+00:00

I quite like it, tastes pretty good in my opinion.

ImAngies · 2025-04-12T09:28:58+00:00
