<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1901572, member: 42773&quot;]The coin I posted at the start arrived a few days ago, and I wasn&#039;t disappointed. It may not look like much, but it has some decent qualities. The obverse is average for the series, but the reverse has a very strong strike in the center, rendering Constantinopolis with considerable detail. The mint and field marks are also strong.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Theodosius I</b></p><p>Ae3; Nicomedia mint, fourth period: 378- 383</p><p>Obv.: DN THEODO-SIVS PF AVG; Pearl diademed, draped, cuirassed bust r.</p><p>Rev.: CONCOR-DIA AVGGG; Constantinopolis, helmeted, seated facing, head r., on throne, holding partly seen spear and globe, r. leg bare, r. foot on prow / A // SMNΓ</p><p>Reference: RIC IX 31(b) mm5 (p. 258) Scarce</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]325155[/ATTACH]</p><p>Like I said, not much to look at, but a scarce coin, and it&#039;s always fun to cherrypick something less than common from a group of ordinary LRB&#039;s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
