[QUOTE="Smojo, post: 2538152, member: 78058"]I was pondering what I would make my 1,000 post on CT. I'm still waiting on some inbound coins to be delivered. I'm sure the weather on the east coast may slow mail from the other side of the Atlantic. I did score a nice coin that's been on my buy list for probably close to a year (since before I got bit by the ancient bug), in JA''s auction this week. With that I thought to share a coin I got a couple of weeks ago via JA via JBGOOD. I'm glad I pulled the trigger on this one because I later found out another person was looking at it. Had I waited I would've either lost out or be forced to bid against someone I've grown to consider a friend. Likely my favorite emperor. Definitely one I have several types of coins from. Diocletian, Tet 284-305 AD 20mm, 8.1g, 12h Alexandria 286/7 Obv: Laureate, draped, cuirassed bust right Rev: Eagle standing facing, head right, wreath in beak. Wings open, between two standards. LA * in upper field Curtiss 1974, Milne 4891 [ATTACH=full]543421[/ATTACH] JA''s photo (I've misplaced my files). If anyone can tell me where to find the symbols I'd appreciate it. Feel free to post what you have.[/QUOTE]
