Nice Coin!


I also just picked up my first Antoninianus, although mine is billon

 

Very nice! I only have a very worn down provincial of him.

 

Read us the obverse legend on your coin please.

 

Nice coin Mat and congrats at getting it at such a low price. If we're patient (which I am not very good at), good buys do come along.

Mat this coin has it all, well centered to boot..very nice...

 

Nice addition, and a good deal on that one Mat!

 

The first coin is very nice and the reverse Roma appears to be one of
Britannia's predecesors.

 

This one is the origin of Britannia (I think...): http://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=153099

 

Nice!!

Mat => that's a great lookin' Elagabalus ... I have a fairly similar example (well, I guess mine is actually a denarius, not an Antoninanus) ...

Oh, and I also have a nice, big, fat E-Dawg Tet with an eagle on it ... man, ya gotta love those animal coins, eh?

 

A picture-perfect coin, Mat.

And yours ain't too shabby either, Jerry.
