Hehe. Now that's funny!
Now this is a beauty, but you can send it along with the ugly one. :p
As I told you when you bought it, I had my eye on that Magnentius, but my wallet only had moths. Great coin and information about the symbol. :thumb:
That has to be one of the ugliest coins I've ever seen. I think you should ditch that ugly baby. I'll provide my address so we can dispose of it...
I think it is RIC VII Heraclea 84, SMH epsilon dot mintmark, R2, 326 AD
No, not a great day. Just too many worries so I can't sleep.
Second coin, top row, I think is: Rome RIC VII 110 Maximianus Herculius. AE3. 317-318 AD. Rome. Posthumous issue. DIVO MAXIMIANO SEN FORT IMP,...

Jerry, Jerry. What's the old saying about a fool and his money..... Only kidding only kidding. Don't get so uptight. Nice Sestertii
Good points Doug. It took me a while to be able to differentiate between some of these, and, to be honest, I still make mistakes. Also, good link.

It seems I collect more silver than base metal, so I guess you can say Denarii is a focus in my collection. BTW, thanks for the comments Ripley,...
BTW, I agree these are some nice coins, beginner of not. I particularly like the Maximianus:thumb:
I do believe your attribution of the Maximinus II is incorrect. I think it is Galerius: Cyzicus RIC VI 18b,A Galerius AE Radiate Fraction....
Thanks Ski. Always good to hear from you.
