I have a few. The Pegasus coin I have was around $40-50. I can't recall exactly, and I have a couple from uncleaned lots lying around. I would...
Definitely it is a mysterious coin and a keeper.
On the original coin you posted there appears to be an "O" just over the emperor's head. This might be part of a legend (which would indicate...
I'm not sure but it might have been a decision at the mint. I've seen coins of Focas with M's and with XXXX.

I also have a Julian double majorina, yes a common coin but I find the patina quite pleasing. I also like the reverse with the APIS bull. [IMG]...
Thanks for a very enjoyable post - excellent coins, too.
Gordian III is about it for me I'm afraid. [ATTACH]
Very interesting coins. I have never seen a third century example of dots on the obverse.
I saw your post on the cistophorus over on FB Donna. Of course, we get more intelligent debates here on CT than FB.
Nice coins. Certainly the provincials at the time had a severe case of the dropsies!
