<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1681379, member: 19463"]Again this year we drove to visit my mother-in-law in Indiana passing by a coin shop in Kentucky that last year produced one of my Nemausis croc coins so I felt the need to return. They had very few new coins but I got one that I either missed last year or that walked in to the shop since I was there. It is an as of Tiberius with the rudder on globe reverse. There are several minor types and dates of these. This one is a bit obscured by the green patina but clear enough to be a nice coin. The legends seem to be more deeply cut that the portrait. Looking at others on acsearch, I see that perfect centering is not common on these so the reverse condition is not all that bad. </p><p><br /></p><p>A test to see if you know me: This coin commonly comes in Tribunica Potestas 37 (as here) and 38. I would much prefer to have found a 38. Why would I consider this choice to be significant. I will tell you that 95% of collectors would not care but a few, like me, would like the 38 to be bold and on flan. Who has this very trivial answer?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]251851.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
