M Antony Quinarius

This popped up on Forvm and I grabbed it. Coins of M Antony do not stick around very long. This makes my fourth coin of Antony. I quite like the variety available. It is not in the best of condition but I really liked the reverse.

Please post your coins of M Antony or any quinarii you may have.

It'd buy it just for the raven . Well, and because it's a Mark Antony. I'd love to own one of these!

 

Ditto. Excellent.

 

If I wasn't so sick of ravens then I might give you a total thumbs-up for that cool animal coin ... but yah, those buggers are out to get me!! (they thump up and down on our garbage cans until they pop-open and then they toss the garbage all over the lawn!!)

... pretty smart birds (but again, they're not that cool if you live with them!!)

 

I like the raven too, nice find.

 

I have an example of the OP coin, but no pic. Here are a couple of Brutus quinarii I haven't posted before:

 

Good looking coin, I like the raven too.

 

Nice pick up! That one wouldn't have lasted long in Forvm's store.

 

Nice M Antony with a raven!

 

nice catch orfew!

 

Thanks to all for the kind words. I was very happy to find this coin.

 

Nice acquisition, Orfew. That's actually not bad at all for the series as I have yet to see one even remotely perfect. Here's mine, I have yet to see one that's perfect (of course, I haven't seen Volodya's yet so there is hope).

Volodya - That Brutus Sestius is the best I've seen. I bid on it too, badly, as you can tell since you own it! Nice coin.

 

Oddly enough, that's exactly what the ravens say about humans!

 

For some reason, I kinda like Quinarii... @Orfew , that is a COOL coin, nice capture. @Volodya and @Carthago ... you guys steal the show with nice examples. I have a few that I can post... Mine are not the prettiest, but it is fun for me to hit some cool points in the Historical Timeslines...

You want to see my Marc Antony coins? Sure, no problem! Let me just play my lotto numbers here. I'll get back to you in a week...if I win.



Nice Marc Antony coins, everyone. I am in the market for the legionnaire denarius of M. Antony, but so far I haven't found one that felt right for me at the right price.

 

Have you been spying on me? ... yah, ravens hate me!! (I was bitten as a child)



... garbage day is kinda like my way of offering some sort of sacrifice
