<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 7809262, member: 86498&quot;]The Antoninianii of Philip I from the mint of Antioch do command something of a premium over those minted at Rome because they are somewhat more scarce. However despite the coin featured on this thread by [USER=97383]@Al Kowsky[/USER] being an very attractive example from this mint, I would be hard pressed to come to the conclusion that this coin is worth anywhere near what it made on auction. Mind you a similar specimen (lion facing left) made $1100 in a CNG Auction back in 2012[ATTACH=full]1341345[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>and I bought one for $400 in 2008 (This one to be sold by CNG later in the year)&nbsp; At one time I collected the antoninianii from the mint of Antioch and decided to keep a few. I think they are attractive coins. </p><p>Philip I Ar Antoninianus Antioch 244-249 AD Obv. Bust right radiate draped and cuirassed. Rv. Aequitas standing left RIC 82 var 4.11 grms 21 mm Photo by W.
