NO, Not Another Gord III, Its A Tet!

Uh...yes, another gordian III thread. Hey it was his birthday last week!!

My latest tetradrachm is a gordian III. I wanted an Antioch style tet. but they were more then I wanted to pay. This was sitting around and ended up going on sale, made a offer and its mine.

Arrived with some spotted bronze disease on the edges so I have treated the best I can. Hopefully it wont be a issue in the months ahead, I really like it.

Its a light copper brown/goldish in hand. Photo makes it chocolate.

I believe this is a scarcer year too.

Nice Gordian coin or as some likes to call it Gordie. Hope that BD doesn't cause any more problems.

 

Super coin Mat, really like the reverse..

 

nice one, full clear legend, sweet reverse...awesome.

 

Love the reverse!

 

Very nice coin of a well mannered teen Emperor.

 

Welcome Magnus Max. Good to have new "faces". Been a lot latey.

 

More than happy to be here.

 

Sweet addition Mat

 

Good stuff, Mat.

 

Nice one, Mat!!

 

Nice coin but 3 is a common year according to Emmett. The good year for GIII is A.

 

Good lookin' score, Mat => that's a groovy new Gordie Tet (yup, very cool)

Oh, and "Welcome, Magnus Maximus!!"

 

Nice coin!

 

I dont go by that, I go by the amount, or lack there of, on CNG, forvm sold/collections, and ac search.

Thanks for the replies, everyone.

 

KIDDING! It's always nice to see a new coin.

 

But...I care

 

I probably should have saved it for the next Fallen Horseman post.

 

Or Emesa Severus *waits for *ichslap*...

 

Lol! That would have been funnier. I know how much you love those.
