<p>[QUOTE=&quot;furryfrog02, post: 3216814, member: 41219&quot;]So FurryFrog IVN and I received the coins in the mail the other day. We have been incredibly busy this week so only managed to sit down today to really look into them and ID them. We only did one today though since we were out feeding baby cows and picking apples at an orchard today <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. The plan is to sit down and finish the other three tomorrow.</p><p>[USER=87404]@Justin Lee[/USER] did a great job of not putting the coins with the IDs so that my son would have to work for his bread <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Of course, he wanted to start with the biggest one first. Luckily there were some great clues to help him out. There was a great, easily readable, name on the obverse and on the reverse we were able to see a bird. Once we were able to figure out what type of bird it was, we were in business. </p><p><br /></p><p>He ID&#039;d the coin as:</p><p>Faustina II AE Dupondius</p><p>Obv: FAVSTINA AVGVSTA, draped bust right</p><p>Rev: IVNO S-C, Juno standing left, peacock at her feet left</p><p>RIC: 1647</p><p>[ATTACH=full]836577[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Thankfully, when we checked Justin&#039;s ID, it matched <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> He is looking forward (as am I) to working on ID&#039;ing the other 3 coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again [USER=87404]@Justin Lee[/USER] for the contest and the generous gift![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
