The batch consists of about 20 Alexandrian Tets from Claudius II Gothicus, though to Maxiamianus Herculius and about 20 Imperials, Provincials through to a Byzantine.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coins have arrived and I am working through with my attributions and photographs. I will not inflict them all on you but will share ones I think worthy of sharing or if I need help with the attribution.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the first of the batch.
