<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2043638, member: 19463"]Delmatius suffers from being around for a very short time during the period of one of the least thrilling reverse types (2 soldiers, 1 standard). As a result his coins tend to be, to use Mat's term, boring. About the only option other than mintmarks is the spelling variation with some (like the OP) having DALMATIVS. Of my four, the last (Thessalonica) is best and 'least' boring because of the A for E and the big jaw portrait. Next is the first (Arles) with Chi-rho on the standard. The Heraclea and Cyzicus are coins I bought a long time ago for reasons that are now less clear. There are gold solidi that sell for five digits but I can't say that I could see many people spending that number on a 'boring' gold coin either. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]373680[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]373681[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]373682[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]373683[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
