This time It's Doug's Fault

As many know, I have an affection for Marcus Anthony coins so I own several. A few weeks ago, Doug showed a commemorative Marcus Anthony coin struck by Marcus Aurelius issued 168 AD commemorating the 200th anniversary of the battle of Actium. So I had to have one to go along with the Legionary denarii I own.

Guilty as charged. My main reason for existence is to encourage others to spend money on ancient coins and keep in business the dealers who supply my habit. If I were the only one who liked these things, the sellers would starve to death and I would not be able to get any more coins. Nothing makes me feel better than leading to the darkside those who could be buying bullion rounds in MS71.

 

Awesome! Great coin, great tie-in to your favorites! Well done.

 

Ah, the Battle of Actium, where young Octavian showed he was a true military commander...sitting ashore watching Agrippa do all the planning, strategy, and all the fighting.

@Bing That is a pretty commemorative coin.

 

Nice coin Bing. I almost grabbed one of these myself...but I can be patient.

 

Nice one Bing. Here's my 10th Legion coin:

 

well, im embarrassed to say this is my only MA coin, a rough but rare provincial from...somewhere. when in doubt, guess thrace.






or did you mean mark a? I'm just as embarrassed to have none of his!

 

I just posted my MA coins a few days ago...but since you asked.

 

Terrific coin Bing! An interesting piece with a lot of eye appeal.

 

Nice coin Bing, haven't seen that type before. Looks like we are always influencing each other in buying certain coins.

 

How true!

Very cool! Doug is to blame for few of my best coins
