<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1651676, member: 19463"]Today the postman brought me three packages of coins. All were ordered on different days but the difference between where each started made all come in one lump. I don't expect most to want to see my favorite of the bunch because it is not high grade and matches things I have posted recently. (Yes, another croc.) Perhaps someone will like the Magnentius AE2 from Amiens mint. Amiens had decent style and is not the most common mint for Magnentius. This one is not a bad example. Notice the cross-rho Christian symbol at the top of the reverse. This is interesting because this same mint issued the large chi-rho type bringing up the question as to why they did not use one or the other style on both. While not new today, I'll post an example of the Amiens AE1 Chi-rho for comparison. </p><p>[ATTACH]240896.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]240897.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
