Hello everyone!

I have just added this nice antoninianus of Carinus, Fides reverse. Apart from the deposits on the reverse, I quite like it

Thanks Steve


I have just added 3 more coins - 2 of Diocletian, 1 of Carausius. I especially like the first Diocletian; it has a somewhat interesting (and different compared to my others) reverse (Hercules) and some nice silvering.

Hello everyone!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while - I have been very busy recently (applying for university etc.)

I have just uploaded 5 new coins - 4 of Postumus (including a decent, somewhat scarce silver one) and a rare (but terrible condition) one of Probus (with CONS IIII in the obverse legend).

Postumus Antoninianus - SERAPI COMITI AVG:   https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-159136
                                   - ORIENS AVG:   https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-159137
                                   - IOVI VICTORI:   https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-159138
                                   - PAX AVG:   https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-159139

Thanks quadrans!

Hello everyone!

I have added an unlisted (and somewhat unusual) antoninianus of Claudius II Gothicus, with reverse ROMAE AETERNAE, but with SPQR in exergue. I have tried to research this, and only found one other example (this on Wildwinds). Incidentally, if anyone does know of any other examples, please do let me know

Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in a while (been busy with work and revision). I've managed to buy my first legionary antoninianus of Carausius (Capricorn reverse). Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks!  

[Anaximander]

I kindly suggest that you edit your last post...  the link should be https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-160669 for the Carausius LEG II with Capricorn reverse. 

The link to https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=48400&pos=0  presently brings one to Carausius Antoninianus - LITIT AV.  Perhaps this is one of those links that changes coins with each new addition?

Cheers~

[Harry G]

Hi Anaximander, thanks for letting me know! I've just changed it.

Cheers,
Harry

Hi all!

Sorry I've been inactive for a while; I've been very busy with university and everything.

I bought the best coin I think I will ever find for the price: an extremely rare sole reign antoninianus of Vabalathus, in nice condition!

It was actually an eBay buy (from a seller who normally sells very common Constantines and Aurelian ants). I asked quite a few questions, and the answers they gave were satisfactory, so I thought I'd bid.

Anyway, I was shocked to see I won the auction for only £31! I think, as it was Christmas, there were less coins being listed, and therefore less people checking, hence the good price.

I don't think I'll ever find a better coin on eBay.

Thanks to all who post

(The first picture is the seller's listing, the second is my attempt)

Hi Harry,

You had the wrong link to your Vabalathus coin, I have changed it to the correct one for you.

The link below was set up to show anyone how to attach a stable link to their coin.

The Vabalathus coin is a nice choice, Harry  👍

I agree. It is a great coin.

Hi all! I bought this unusual antoninianus of Carausius on eBay a few days ago.

The reverse unusually depicts the wolf and twins, and the legend is a blundered PM COS IIII type (thanks to Dane from Wildwinds for the help!)

It's exergue seems to show σ+∩, which Dane pointed out is probably a blundered CLA mintmark. It's unusual, nevertheless.

Hope you enjoy!
