Antonius Pius

Scrolling thru Wildwinds I found a coin that matched mine. Is this a RIC 124? Am I missing something?

So, why I was wondering is that the statues of Divus Augustus and Diva Livia look a little different. Also the figures above the portico/roof of the temple are different. Everything else looks right. I also can't find any other examples.

Your's is more rare than my example, and a very nice coin at that, congrats.

Mine needs an upgrade...RIC 290:

 

Well that's a beauty...
On the other end of the spectrum is this very rough coin that I really like..
Featuring his pillar - the base of which is displayed outside the Vatican today...

 

There are several on acsearch.

 

Thanks, I will take a look.

Thanks Aussie, it was the "rare" at the end that made me wonder if I had mis attributed it.

 

that's my specimen...

 

Just so you know....

Yours would be an upgrade for mine!

 

I drove for mine up too Loveland. Just too see what they had. When he pulled out the trays 2 of them all Ancients this coin jumped from the trays. I fell in love with it even If I over paid. PS I don't think that I did. And have to wait till Monday to get some money into my bank account so I can upgrade my acsearch account.

 

Nice A.Pius denarius, @Pickin and Grinin!

Mine has a funny planchet, but I love it that, has character.
