Still focusing a bit on Tetradrachms and some latest additions, though a few months old for me, have been added. Took awhile to get a Severina since she seems to cost more then Salonina, but I eventually was able to score her cheaper than the average rate. Severina (274 - 275 A.D.) Egypt, Alexandria Potin Tetradrachm O: OYΛΠ CEYHΡINA CEB, draped bust right wearing stephane. R: ETOVC S, eagle standing right, wreath in its beak. Year 6=274/5 AD 21mm 7g Dattari 5506, Geissen 3103, Emmett 3966 Gordian III (238 - 244 A.D.) Egypt, Alexandria Billon Tetradrachm O: A K M ANT ΓOPΔIANOC ЄV, Laureate and cuirassed bust right. R: Homonoia standing facing, head left, holding double cornucopia and raising hand; L ς (date) to left. Year 6 (AD 242/3). 12.13g 13mm Köln 2666-7; Dattari (Savio) 4739; K&G 72.127; Milne 3442; Emmett 3411
@Mat - Severina looks great. I really enjoy the patina colors that come out, especially the reds. GIII Tet - you are going to be a Hunt Brother cornering the Tet market... My Severina: RI Severina Wife of Aurelian 274-275 CE BI22 Antoninianus 3-14g Rome mint Crescent Concordia RIC 317 My Gordy III - bucking the AR trend with Bronze: RI Gordian III 238-244 CE AE As 25mm Hercules S-C
@Mat ..... Both are very attractive additions!!! I particularly like that AE As 25mm Hercules S-C of Gordian @Alegandron!!!
So, apparently I do not have one of either. Which is a surprise to me. So now I have new things to ask for for Christmas. Very nice coins Mat. I really like this Tet collection you have going on.
So, I'm not smart about dates and was looking in the wrong place. I have three Gordian III's. But a little more interesting than all AR. http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=6305 As you can see, I am terrible at photographing larger copper. But you get the idea.
