<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 7642417, member: 75525&quot;]I attended the TNA coin show in Arlington yesterday and found a few coins. They are open Sunday 6/6, so hurry on down for a few bargains. The best seller is Toady Coins, A Kid Buisness. I picked up a few well worn English pennies there.[ATTACH=full]1314131[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1314132[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Now for the goodies. I picked up a large, 20.6 gram, Faustina Sr. bronze and a larger, 114.6 gram, Medusa. </p><p>[ATTACH]1314133[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1314134[/ATTACH] </p><p>I am not good at Roman Imperial attribution, so I will take Doug&#039;s advice and call it Faustina with a hair bun right / someone standing left holding Victory.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin below covers 3 and a half of the fingers on my hand. It is big. CNG notes the patina was removed. That is not obvious at first glance, but is glaring when I take pics. I think Medusa sticking out her tongue is neat. The coin was sold twice by CNG and I used their description below.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1314135[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1314136[/ATTACH] </p><p>SKYTHIA, Olbia. Circa 400-350 BC.
