This came it the mail today. DN CONSTAN-TIVS PF AVG, pearl-diademed, draped, cuirassed bust right, A behind/FEL TEMP RE-PARATIO soldier spearing Horseman, Phrygian helmet, sitting on ground, arm(s) up, A in left field, TS Delta in ex Thessalonica 129 scarce. I know that it's TS Delta, and that my I have a serious collecting problem, because I have these already, and there is another I am considering on buying as well.
But that is a wonderful affliction (dilemma) Randy for I know you love these coins so much! Edit: Q has a better response below.
ty all Right now there are 2 more die matches of these for sale (one vcoins and on ebay). Ill have to wait till payday to make on either if I decide to get em.
When it comes to buying a duplicate, I ask what this coin has to offer that upgrades my situation. I have no use for coins missing the mintmark even if it is a certain one unless it really has some offsetting characteristic. I see nothing in the first coin to recommend it. I have pretty much stopped looking at FH coins but I only have four new coins of all types this year. Maybe I'm done, I don't know. Can you explain why you wanted any specific coin? I had two and I can't remember what happened to the first one so I guess I don't miss it. Am I a recovering horse-aholic?
The OP coin is definitely one I would not recommend but I couldn't resist the low price and being a die match of the other 2. I thought perhaps too about the dies looking slightly less worn when it was struck.
