Thanks, Brian. I did have Cyzicus 25b as one of my alternatives, but I had so many. Thanks again.
Sorry - I forgot to include AE20 mm., 4.6 gm.
I believe that this coin is Theodosius I, RIC IX.Antioch 63c (var) . . . but I am as sure that it is NOT as I am that it IS. The reasons for my...
Could very well be.
V. nice coin, Doug. I don't think that is a weight adjustment scoop on the reverse of my coin - more like general wear. Would you agree?

Thanks, Bing. I appreciate that.
Hey Zumbly. Thanks my friend. Soooooo very interesting. Under the Griffin is not the only thing that can be used to 'reference' Behind the head of...

(Ha, Ha, Ha,Ha, Ha, Ha,Ha, Ha, Ha,)
Thanks R.S. I was having some difficulty finding out anything about the moneyer, that I could rely on. I appreciate the notes. "Live and learn."...
Thanks, Steve. Love the Griffin, and is that a dog or a crocodile?
Another Roman Republican coin to come into my possession recently was this Denarius Serratus of L.Procilius. This coin shows Juno, (the 'Cello'...
@> chrisld - I don't know what coin you're thinking of but the mint date on the one pictured is 2012 so "five years or so" is an exaggeration, but...
@> Panzerman - You like a gold coin or two. (There may be one for you on "Everything is bigger in Texas" thread on 'World Coins'.)
