fell off the wagon

.....stupid wagon. well, i wan't supposed to buy any new coins for a while but a grabbed this one. i've wanted one of these for a over quite some time, and this one was less than what it would go for at an auction probably. really cool mint mark and a pretty color, looks good on my crappy old table.

Well, I fall off and get back on so many times I can't remember if I'm suppose to be on or off.

I love these Julian II "Bull" coins. Nice pickup.

 

Nice choice! I've been looking for a reasonably-priced Julian II/Bull for my Constantine family tree, but they get pricey in higher grades. That's a great example of the type - good detail and strong legends. Great pickup.

 

Nice coin to fall on. I have seen a few affordable ones in my budget buts its one of those coins I just havent been in the mood to buy. I know how historical it is but meh...

 

Sweeeet lookin' animal-coin!!

=> awesome choice!! ... this coin has overturned many a wagon!!

 

JULIAN II AE1 (Double Maiorina)
A.D. 362 – 363
Arelate mint, 1st Office
Diameter: 26 mm
Weight: 9.2 grams
Obverse: DN FL CL IVLIANVS PF AVG. Pearl diademed, draped and cuirassed bust at right
Reverse: SECVRITAS REIPVB. Bull standing right, 2 stars above, wreath at end of legend. PCON in exergue
Reference: Originally stated as being an RIC VIII 316

NOTE => Doug Smith states => “You should continue to be happy to have that coin which is not bad as just a generic Julian bull but is really special as an R3 that seems actually to deserve that rating. RIC 313 (VIII Arles) variations”

Other: full details in both sides … precious black patina ... scarce in this condition … better in hand.

 

Well, heck I might as well show off one of mine as well:

 

I like it Chris, what a coin to fall off the wagon.... there should a be some helps for the people that fall off the wagon, Nottttt..

 

I think i have one one these too...

 

There is no need for me to repeat what Bing has written, it is 150% true. Well played Chris!

 

Nice example Chrsmat! "I gotta git me one o' them thar bull coins."

I'm getting ready to fall off the wagon big time. I've been saving for a specific coin for a while. Coming to a thread here soon!

 

thanks everyone, and nice lookin' bulls ....fall off that wagon RB!
