<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cucumbor, post: 2247190, member: 4298&quot;]Late middle bronzes are of great interest IMO. Nice catch Mickey !</p><p><br /></p><p>A few years ago I came across a Gordian III dupondius (at an incredibly low price <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) that I bought as a present for a young fellow collector on his 20 th B&#039;day.</p><p>I still have a picture of it, although the coin isn&#039;t mine anymore (I haven&#039;t kept diameter and weight though). It&#039;s quite a rare denomination too :</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]444054[/ATTACH]</p><p>I also have an as minted for Valerian which is even rarer than those of Gordian III as these middle bronzes were struck on a few occasions in the second half of the third century. Funny enough, it&#039;s a Jupiter reverse as yours is :</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/11724/0430-320.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b> Valerian, As </b> Rome mint, AD 255-258</p><p>IMP C P LIC VALERIANVS P F AVG, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right</p><p>IOVI CONSERVATORI, Jupiter standing left, holding thunderbolt and scepter.
