<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1844264, member: 19463&quot;]Today the postman brought another eBay coin that the rest of you did not feel was worth outbidding me on (I thank you very much).&nbsp; The seller identified it as an AE1 Follis of Maximianus RIC 166b of which I agree with the AE1 follis part.&nbsp; What do you say?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]306939[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>It is Lugdunum mint and reads MAXIMIANVS NOB C but RIC 166b has a left facing portrait.&nbsp; Both 164b and 166b are coins of Galerius which matches the fact that my coin could not be Maximianus who never issued coins as Caesar.&nbsp; I&#039;ll not hold that error against him and the photo makes the right bust no great surprise either.&nbsp; I really would prefer sellers just post pictures and not bother with ID&#039;s anyway.&nbsp; My question here is how many of you recognized this error before reading below the photo?&nbsp; I know some of you have posted negative comments on these boring Genius coins but I really like the portrait here.&nbsp; Some neck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
