Volusian, eh?

... hmmm, I still don't have one of this dude!!

Nice coin, Ripley (Hi)

 

Thanks Steve Its my first of this guy

 

Cool addition traci. Maybe lemon juice the coin to remove the green? Remember I did it to mine of him last year.

 

Decent coin there Ripley. This is one of those emperors that you don't see for sale often, but he's not exactly rare either. I just showed a provincial of his from Antioch and here is the only other I have:

Volusian AR Antoninianus
OBV: IMP CAE C VIB VOLVSIANO AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right
REV: CONCORDIA AVG G - Concordia seated left, holding patera and two cornucopiae
Struck at Serdica, 251-253 AD
3.4g, 20mm
RIC 168 (Trebonianus Gallus)

 

Very nice Concordia Bing.

 

Yeah, he is not rare by any means. Aorta has him ranked 79th with 541 known examples of his coinage.
