Thanks for everyone's indulgence. I just got back home at about 11:30 this morning and wanted to post all my "T" coins before the thread moved on.
Since no one has moved on to the next letter, I'm going to sneak in another T. Just finished the prelim inventory of my mixed lot from Goldberg and saw this nice Trajan Decius.
Okay => so it sounds like we're gonna be combining U & V for the next two days ... well, apparently I don't have any U's ... => but here is a V-coin M. Volteius Mf. Hercules & Erymanthiam Boar
Uh-oh => here comes Bing with the U-V explosion!! I'd love to stay and watch the fireworks, but I have the whole Portuguese in-law family in town this weekend (Canadian Thanksgiving) ... I was able to escape for a couple of hours, but I know I must return and sit quietly in the corner as the entire room speaks Portuguese!! ... man, I hate it when they point and laugh at me .... "ahahaha, you married that man?!! ... burro stupido!!" *sigh* have fun, Bing!! Cheers (Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!!) ... I'm gonna be bomber if and when you hear from me next!!
From the Goldberg lot. I think this is Volusian, from Pisidia, Antioch. Still working on the attribution. Looks like a lot of those issues have blundered legends. This one seems to.
