<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 1824123, member: 56859&quot;]Of this same reverse?&nbsp; Can you post the search link?&nbsp; I found a bunch of Postumus Providentias but not this particular reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the coin and my attribution.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]299896[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Posthumus, 259-268 AD</b></p><p>antoninianus, 20 x 22 mm, 3.0 gm</p><p>struck 263 AD in Cologne</p><p>Obv: IMP C POSTVMVS P F AVG, radiate bust right</p><p>Rev: PROVIDENTIA AVG, Providentia standing left, legs crossed, leaning on column, holding cornucopiae, and pointing with baton at globe at foot</p><p>Ref: RIC VII 81, Cologne</p><p><br /></p><p>The old manilla envelope holding the coin simple said &quot;Rome?&quot; on the outside, with &quot;1.50&quot; on the inside. Most of the other Imperials in the same hand, same type of envelope, and same type of writing indicate that the previous owner (or some previous owner) was likely American and bought most of them in 1958, with the price written under the flap for many of them. So I guess that person paid $1.50 for it. Many of the others say &quot;Kramer, May 1958&quot; under the flap. Wonder if Kramer was an individual or a coin store.</p><p><br /></p><p>The wildwinds entry listed it as a Lyons mint but the info for the coin shown said Cologne. From what I can tell based on hairstyle, mine was minted in Cologne so that&#039;s what I&#039;m putting down. Maybe the RIC number doesn&#039;t change for the mint, you just indicate which mint? (obviously I&#039;m not a RIC pro)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Ah yes, multitasking&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Yeah, but I&#039;m sitting here on my day off, following a weekend off, in a home that is bearing a great resemblance to a pig sty.&nbsp; Not to mention the loads of other things I should be doing, like a responsible adult...</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll edit the Sev. Alex picture and post it shortly.&nbsp; Instead of doing the dishes and laundry.&nbsp; Thanks for the excuse![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
