<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7997821, member: 19463&quot;]There are several Falling Horsemen that are not exactly common and not available by the pound.&nbsp; One is any FH coin of Amiens.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1387352[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>One of my favorite types is the large Chi-Rho issued for Constantius II after the mint at Trier was recaptured from Magnentius.&nbsp; What makes this type &#039;special&#039; is the alpha and omega (A-W) stating that Christ was God from beginning to end as opposed to being a later creation as believed by the Arian heretics.&nbsp; Pagan Magnentius had issued the type to point out to the Western Catholic population that Constantius II was Arian and, therefore, worse than a pagan. These are found with a rosette or pearl diadem.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1387353[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1387354[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>My last coin is like the OP but a different workshop (SMANI). ex Frank Robinson 2001 $27</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1387355[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Tory was into types but not much into mintmarks. This is 413cCS. 413a and 413b were both my coins but the 413c belonged to Tory.&nbsp; Did you buy it when his collection went on sale? At the time I did not realize the type was special or it would have got an enlarged photo which we put on the disk that accompanied the book. My crop is loose since the idea was to make the coins correct size on the plates.&nbsp; Small coins got reduced a lot and only what we considered &#039;better&#039; were enlarged on the disk (I assume you have a copy of it???).
