<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1992687, member: 19463&quot;]From the Fredericksburg show came two very ordinary grade coins with slightly unusual legends referring to the fact that the emperors really needed support of their soldiers. </p><p><br /></p><p>Valerian is shown with a reverse of Concord seated&nbsp; and the legend CONCOR LEGG.&nbsp; Concord is sometimes made into a military type with the addition of MILITVM (of the soldiers) but here we have &quot;of the Legions&quot; with the plural abbreviation indicated by a double G.&nbsp; It is a relatively early and decent silver.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]356990[/ATTACH] </p><p>The Aurelian is much more ordinary honoring the Virtue of the Soldiers VIRTVS MILITVM.&nbsp; I bought it because it was cheap and I liked the style.&nbsp; It has decent surfaces and is a die clash but that is not terribly attractive or objectionable as you prefer.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]356991[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The dealer that had these two coins had at least a hundred in similar grade and price bracket.&nbsp; I&#039;m never quite sure why it is that I buy some over others.&nbsp; The Valerian certainly was boosted by the LEGG.&nbsp; Aurelian just asked nicely so I bought him.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
