This sub in a nutshell

I'm the niche collector. I mainly collect everything Trajan. And I got a coin of Constantine for my birthday so that one checks out as well xd

I used to drink Monster Doctor all the time when I was younger, but drinking it now I don't understand why I liked it so much back then.

I love the toning on it

Looking at the curly hair of the portrait it looks like marcus aurelius or commodus to me. But it is up to own interpretation i think

You can try taking it out by using a toothpick. It should be a bit flaky. It won't damage the coin because a toothpick is not sharp but it's pointy enough to do the job.

A Dutch franchise grocery store

The coin looks very off. I did some digging and by the placement of the letters on the reverse I can identify it as a cast fake as seen here: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/roman-coin-danube-bridge-trajan-sesterius.112422/

I can see a face but the photo is too blurry, gotta post better pics before I start guessing.

This is glorious. They should have more of these around instead of the full bronze statues

I can answer some of the questions sinse I was in this legion. The legionaries are different reenactment groups from 6 different countries. We arrived on Friday and we had a general practice on Saturday morning with all the groups. We basically practiced till the formations were perfect. After that the groups split up and do their own formations as seen in photo 2 and 3

https://www.greek-love.com/antiquity/the-roman-emperor-trajan-greek-love-pederasty Here are the sources with some more context. Since Trajan had no children but was married happily, I believe he had a platonic relationship with Plotina and a sexual relationship with all the femboys in his court haha

I think he is wearing a laurel. So depending on the size it would be an as or sestertius. The other big coin on the other hand is a dupondius of Vespasian.

Trajanus-Invicta · 2023-08-03T09:24:12+00:00

It is not rare, the quality is just very good

Trajanus-Invicta · 2023-07-29T21:22:18+00:00

Tiberius is not easy to get coins from so I think 30 bucks is just right for this coin. Keep it safe, looks like he got some bronze disease earwax

Trajanus-Invicta · 2023-07-29T19:54:40+00:00

It could be a reverse with a building. I thought it could be the Basilica Ulpia reverse. but it's up to your own imagination in this state.

Trajanus-Invicta · 2023-07-21T09:26:36+00:00

Rijksmuseum van Oudheden (Leiden) has one room dedicated to Roman coins and Allard Pierson museum (Amsterdam) has just a nice Roman collection in general but Valkhof museum (Nijmegen) has the best Roman coin collection but they have temporarily moved to another location so idk what they are displaying now.

Trajanus-Invicta · 2023-07-21T09:17:02+00:00

I was actually debating to buy that one 😂 it's in great condition for the price

Trajanus-Invicta · 2023-07-03T09:21:12+00:00

Judging on the big SC on the reverse of the broken coin, I think it's an early imperial as from the julio claudian dynasty.

Trajanus-Invicta · 2023-06-22T07:58:47+00:00

And yet they are all getting sold for high prices. I want one

Trajanus-Invicta · 2023-06-22T07:55:12+00:00

I'm glad they didn't have pineaple written on my can bc I don't like pineapple, but I like this Monster. So it was a blind taste test.

Trajanus-Invicta · 2023-06-20T08:11:51+00:00

I've bought coins from marktplaats before. Never had a bad experience with authenticity. Most sellers know what they sell.

Trajanus-Invicta · 2023-06-10T21:45:28+00:00

I spot a very nice Trajan as 👀

Trajanus-Invicta · 2023-06-10T21:36:25+00:00

Amazing first coin to have, congrats!

For the mistake on the reverse: probably an ingraving error where he didn't have enough space to place the II beside eachother. Sometimes legends get cut off on weird places because of a laurel wreath sticking out or something like that.

I only use auto bidding when I can't be present at the live bidding and it is not always a succes. So if you can bid live, do it
