    Justin Lee I learn by doing

    That's the nicest Macrinus provincial I've seen! Wow!

    Very nice! I like the contrast with the light blue, and that's a great detailed wheel on reverse!

    One thing about these dual-portrait coins of Mac and Di is that you can identify them on the basis of portrait alone: "Confronted busts of a dude facing a kid with a lightbulb-shaped head? Gotta be Mac and Di!"

    This uncleaned lot special is an example of Moushmov 575/Varbanov 1221 from Marcianopolis in Moesia Inferior. The reverse features Tyche standing.

    It's the same coin as Pellinore's stunning example:

    Thanks @Roman Collector - Hadn't been able to fully attribute that one, other than knowing it is Macrinus.

    @ancient coin hunter, your coin is Severus Alexander not Macrinus ;)
