<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1804928, member: 19463"]These are just nice examples of coins I did not have. Some are better than others and some cost a bit more than others but most were bought just because I am addicted to such things and buy them when I see one that strikes my fancy at a show. Most look better in hand (particularly the Numerian) so I will need to reshoot them in the five months before I attend another coin show. Five months is a long time for me to rely just on mail order. As usual on such purchases I have buyer's remorse about half of them but still see some good points about each other than the fact that they were types I did not have. </p><p><br /></p><p>Caracalla and Julia Domna AE of Marcianopolis but her name off flan.

[ATTACH=full]293947[/ATTACH] Victorinus Cologne mint with obverse legend including PIAV but barely on flan (already needs upgrading) [ATTACH=full]293948[/ATTACH] Probus Rome mint with temple - rough but large flan (already needs upgrading) [ATTACH=full]293949[/ATTACH] Numerian as Augustus Lugdunum mint - photo makes it look rougher than in hand - the obverse is really nice looking in hand (needs rephotographing) [ATTACH=full]293950[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
