[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 1881022, member: 31620"]I went out on a limb with my next acquisition. I bought it knowing that the style was a little odd looking and with the reverse legend being unusual. The obverse legend is pretty good though. I went ahead and bought it with half a mind thinking it was imitative and half my mind hoping it was an odd official issue. I have now had it confirmed that it is an ancient imitative in good style and is a die match to Bastien 310a-h which is termed Atelier II. [B]Postumus - AE As / Sestertius [/B] Obv:- IMP C M CASS LAT POSTVMVS P F AVG, Radiate, cuirassed bust right Rev:- AMV above Galley, with rowers right, AMV below. Retrograde P to left, [O] to right 9.47 g. 25.42 mm [IMG]http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_115o_img.jpg[/IMG] Anyone else have some imitatives? Martin[/QUOTE]
