<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1001299, member: 19463&quot;]Every so often a coin follows me home just because I thought it was pretty.&nbsp; I don&#039;t especially collect Diocletian and I had others of similar design but this one is about as pretty to my standards as any late Roman I have.&nbsp; It is not full silver but the places worn through have a contrasting tone so they look good.&nbsp; The strike is even and legends are bold.&nbsp; This is what I seek when looking for ancients.&nbsp; It is not mint state but good enough for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Diocletian AE Antoninianus c.285 AD RIC 323 p256 vol.V</p><p>Jupiter and Hercules Antioch mint 4th officina</p><p><br /></p><p>It came from a dealer&#039;s half price box.&nbsp; No one wanted it at full price but I took it at half.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
