I'm a Lincoln fan, as most of you most likely know (if not, then you're a new member to the board, welcome, lol, or you haven't been paying attention the past few months, lol). Thanks to our resident stainless, who has caught my interest with a new series, I now have another set to work on. Meet the new additions to the Phoenix Collection, lol: Julia Maesa, grandmother of Elagabalus & Severus Alexander. AR denarius, 220-222 AD. Obv.- IVLIA MAESA AVG, draped bust right. Rev.- SAECVLI FELICITAS, Felicitas standing left with long caduceus, sacrificing out of patera over lighted altar, star right. RIC-271, RSC-45, BMC-79, Sear-7757. 05/2007. Rarity (6/4). MAXIMIAN, Augustus 286-305 AD (Augustus of the West, with Diocletian as Augustus of the East), 306-308 AD (returned from retirement, forced to abdicate a second time), and 310 AD (again). AE Antoninianus, Cyzicus mint, 293 AD. Obv.- IMP C M A MAXIMIANVS AVG, radiate draped bust right. Rev.- CONCORDIA MILITVM, Maximianus standing right holding scepter, receiving Victory on globe from Jupiter standing left, holding long scepter, epsilon between, XXI in exergue. RIC-607-E, Cohen-53. Ex-WNC Coins, 04/2007. Rarity (3/6). Also have another one, traded stainless for it, one of the ones he listed in the open forum. It's official, Phoenix has joined the darkside. (Now to balance this out with the Lincoln set!) Okay, I'm done, lol, thanks for reading. Phoenix
Well, from the first coin, I can see where we got the SBA design. Kind of spooky actually. As far as cleaning his own, I've heard talk that he needs to clean his ROOM first!
I heard Rob (Lord Marcovan) treated you very well....he is an awesome member over at CU. I was thinking about picking up the Maximian myself, but went for the Probus instead. Glad it went to you. The Julia is a nice addition too. Great pickups. The Gratian, these two from LM, and the other stuff I am mailing you will help you learn and get you off to a great start to the darkside. stainless
Down the rabbit hole... If you are considering cleaning your own, don't touch that Maximian!!! Its perfect the way it is, with the earthen highlights.
You know, if you lose one of these in your room and find it later, people will REALLY start to wonder how long it's been since you last cleaned your room!
Now I wonder where you heard about that (Topher! "send strong evil eye through computer." ) Thanks man. Nope, atleast, not until I learn how, lol. Thanks man! (Reason I picked these was I thought the designs were pretty sweet, lol.) He did I believe, I don't know the prices really on them. Does anyone know the going rate for them? Thanks! You mean, I shouldn't keep out the nail polish remover for it? Lol, I wasn't planning on cleaning them, but it sounds like I'll have to learn how to to collect these. "Evil eye still going through computer." Haha, thanks! Phoenix
Honestly. I'm innocent on this one. But there are others who know. Besides, I've never found anything more than reject change when I've cleaned my room. You find some keepers! That one I earned.
