    Happy Anniversary, ACH! Yes, I'd like my name in your hat. And if I win, like @cpm9ball, it will go to a YN that I already have in mind. After all, an estate sale in my future might not be that far in the future; giving it to a YN will give it better "legs." Thanks for the opportunity.

    Hey Nathan - the coin is on its way. Should take 3-5 days to reach you. The post office did say that COVID-19 sometimes delays shipments a bit.

    The coin arrived this morning!
    Here’s what I’ve figured out:
    Maximinus II (308-313AD)
    Eastern Roman Empire
    Obverse: “GALVALMAXIMINVSPFAVG”
    Reverse: “GENIOIMPERATORIS”
    Mint: “MKV” - Carthage, Tunisia

    Tell if there’s anything I missed.
    Thanks again to Ancient Coin Hunter, the coin looks even better in person!

    Yes on the man; No on the mint. Try again remembering that Greek did not use the letter C as a hard C but rather as a variant of the letter S so many words we spell with C start with a K in Greek.
