    We need a photo to clear this up. There are no double denarii of Faustina Sr. (many singles but no doubles). If you have a slab that says this, there could be extra value among those who love slab errors.

    My favorite Philip antoniniani are those of the Antioch branch mint.

    Randy's coin is special IMHO but he should have told you why, not I. Mine, below, is more common (but I do like the style). See the difference?

    The thing I notice the most with these Philip coins especially the Ant's is the different facial expressions on most coins.
