Aurelian

[jgad]

Think this is :


Aurelian AE Antoninianus. IMP AVRELIANVS AVG, radiate head right / IOVI CONSER, Emperor standing right, holding sceptre and receiving globe from Jupiter, holding sceptre. Mintmark: none, B or dolphin in ex. Sear 394, unattributed mint; Sear5 11542v.

However, the bust on mine is vey different from the one on wildwinds.  I understand that variances do occur but this one seems extreme.  Note the relative large body to the small roundish head.  Do you all agree with the attributioln and is the variance of the bust norm for this issue?

Hi;
Danes Excel sheet names Tripolis as mint and rare. Busts of Aurelian frequently look weird (long necks, small head ect..).

Ray is correct on the busts. Here's one of mine. Some are kind of comical looking, massive armor, small heads, long necks etc.

Ray:  I honestly dont see this coin in the spreadsheet with a B mintmark attributed to Tripolis....maybe I'm missing something?

Romanorvm:  I see what you mean...wow your portrait is "interesting" too...almost looks like he's wearing a washboad lol.  Cool coin though.
