<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2248106, member: 19463&quot;]There is a tendency of people selling coins to add value to their wares by linking them to names from history that can be associated with the coins.&nbsp; Coins of Postumus are common but the few made at Milan while Aureolus was in charge there carry a bit extra interest and sell for a bit more when marketed as a coin of Aureolus in the name of Postumus rather than just being called a coin of Postumus.&nbsp; Are they worth more? To some they are; to others not.&nbsp; I have a page:</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/feac75aur.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/feac75aur.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/feac75aur.html</a></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/postmi6f.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/postmi6v.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Poemenius is a similar story with coins issued in the name of Constantius II but not any marked Poemenius.&nbsp; A reverse type of the usurper Magnentius was adapted for this issue. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]444301[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Vetranio is a bit different in that he issued coins in his own name as well as for Constantius II.&nbsp; People differ on whether the ones in the name of Constantius are &#039;special&#039; but most people allow for that status for the ones that actually bear the legends of Vetranio.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]444299[/ATTACH] </p><p>Finding really nice examples of these coins is harder than normal Postumus or Constantius issues.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
