I have very recently been working on updating my coin records being that I have gained a ton of experience since starting this hobby a couple of years ago. I have also taken the chance to update my coin flip labels, making sure that the most relevant info is front and center! I am pretty happy with the way these have turned out. An example of my earliest labels is up the top, the previous ones are in the middle and the latest type is at the bottom.

Bonus: a Victorinus I have double checked is significantly rarer than expected and, on a good day, might be my most valuable piece. 😊

The humble as of Caligula. Despite not looking exceptionally pretty coins of Caligula are scarce with well-graded ones exceptionally pricey. I had to obtain a more budget-friendly grade.

Something a bit different. These are pressed fake antoninianii of Caracalla and Elagabalus from Bulgaria. They are certainly convincing for a noob. Don't want to give too much away for any scammers, but all the coins in their shop were the same colour you see here, same patina, and were mostly rarer coins (e.g. denarii of Pertinax, Clodius, Gordian I etc).

I was just cleaning some dust off this Caracalla denarius acquisition that I have had for about a week when I dropped it on to a tiled floor. The result is what you see here :(

Ancient silver is fragile, yo.
