Jw awesome coin, i've wanted one of these for while, what's the difference between an Argenteus and a Denarius??

 

Not much. Only the difference of a couple of hundred years I think. Here is the wiki response:

 

Wow Eng => you're posting so many new coins that I missed a day ...

I missed Philip I Day ... ummm, but I'm still gonna toss-in my sweet ol' suckling twins and my Phil + Tyche ...

 

Oh, and very sweet Maximianus pick-up (very hot!!) ... congrats on some great new coins, brother ...

Ummm, even Bing might appreciate my next purchase? ($24 for this silvery lil' devil => "delivered" to Manitoba)

 

By dog sled or four wheeler?

Great coin at my kinda price lil brother
