<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2270143, member: 19463&quot;]My Saturday in Baltimore only produced five coins but I spent more than ever before at a show.&nbsp; Ill show the three bronzes here counting down from least interesting to ne to most.&nbsp; The two silvers will take longer to get online since they will be appearing on my favorites page.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>5. Justin II AE follis 40 nummi Nikomedia mint year ten </p><p>The appeal of this was that both figures have eyes and Justin looks a bit like a Preying Mantis.&nbsp; I have this coin from other mints but am making a point of NOT researching the possibility that I am anyways close to having the set to avoid triggering a frenzy to seek out the missing ones. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]452222[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>4. Philip I Alexandria tetradrachm Nike</p><p>I bought this just because I liked the reverse and did not have a Nike for Philip.&nbsp; When I got it home and tried to catalog it using Emmett and ran into a problem.&nbsp; Similar coins online are listed as Emmett 3492 Nike Flying r.&nbsp; I can not accept this since there is a groundline under Nike making it Nike Advancing r.&nbsp; The advancing coins are not listed as being issued in Year S (6).&nbsp; Any Emmett fans here that would like to straighten me out, please do.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]452221[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>3. Caracalla Caesar, AE25 4 assaria, Tomis / Dioscuri seated </p><p>I like the denominationally marked Tomis coins and this is a nice example of the 4 (delta) coin.&nbsp; The seller pointed it out to me because he thought I might like the seated figures that usually appear on horseback or standing.&nbsp; I had not bought many coins from him for over ten years (most of his stock is high priced and in slabs and I don&#039;t bother looking).&nbsp; He was right.&nbsp; The type is listed in the usual online places both for Caesar and a young Augustus Caracalla but I do like the coin.&nbsp; I know this will not impress the condition collectors here but this is really not bad for the type.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]452220[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
