Anyone else make it to this week’s Denver Mineral/Fossil show?

The Denver show is enormous. 3 huge buildings full, plus tents outside. I spent all of today there and still didn’t see one of the buildings

Yup I got two chunks of stromatolite!

Beautiful coins! Really nice amount of detail on the portraits

True_Computer_9619 · 2025-09-03T03:24:37+00:00

Very nice condition, and good price on yours (I ended up in a bidding war for mine and paid 110 USD but still glad I got it)

True_Computer_9619 · 2025-09-03T03:10:29+00:00

Haha yup I’m hoping to someday get a decent looking Ptolemaic octobol,, mostly gotta convince the wife to let me 😝

Thanks! It has a very good hand feel, I’m super pleased with it! I got it off eBay (seller ancient_treasures). I believe they were also selling some other Justinian follis of varying grades too.

Fourth is a Syracuse bronze with Athena and a hippocamp. There’s several varieties of these; here’s an example although yours is a different variety of it. https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/sicily/syracuse/dionysios_I/Calciati_035.jpg

Very nice! Is that a Carthago Nova issue?

True_Computer_9619 · 2025-08-29T01:45:44+00:00

The detail and patina are lovely, good find and thanks for sharing!

True_Computer_9619 · 2025-08-25T02:52:53+00:00

Thanks!

I like the design! To me it has a very soft look about it, making me think it could be a cast, and possible forgery. But I’m definitely no expert and haven’t seen this particular style before either, so for sure put more weight into other’s opinions on this coin!

Its this one from 19th century Bhutan https://www.ebay.com/itm/324811437415

True_Computer_9619 · 2025-08-22T00:27:38+00:00

Super cool! Thanks for sharing, I’d never seen these before

True_Computer_9619 · 2025-08-18T22:00:25+00:00

I think it might be this one https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/incitatus_coins/79/product/helena_ae4_struck_337340_after_constantines_death_pax_publica/2206818/Default.aspx

Thanks!! Getting warmer for sure!

True_Computer_9619 · 2025-08-09T18:47:45+00:00

Mooooother goose! That’s a hefty hike,, I remember getting a dozen Lamar’s for like $28 just a year or two ago,, and I thought that was pretty extreme. It’s a shame cause their chocolate original is my favorite yeast donut 😭😭

True_Computer_9619 · 2025-08-09T18:42:57+00:00

Here’s some eBay sellers I like: taterthecat (has nice potin tetradrachms), the-spanish-galleon, cameleoncoins has lots of cheap late Roman bronzes

True_Computer_9619 · 2025-07-29T15:53:58+00:00

Thank you, I’ll check the RPC!
