<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 4587556, member: 74834&quot;][USER=44316]@Valentinian[/USER] - Thanks for this interesting overview. I found a lot of scholarly information in the catalog of the CNG N.McQ. Holmes collection of Roman coins (250-270 AD) that was auctioned in April, 2019. I bought some very interesting coins that I showed on CoinTalk, also imitations. The catalog appears still to <a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=378492" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=378492" rel="nofollow">be for sale</a>, and it may be <a href="https://issuu.com/cngcoins/docs/cng_e442_catalog" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://issuu.com/cngcoins/docs/cng_e442_catalog" rel="nofollow">found on the internet</a>, too. </p><p><br /></p><p>There were several CT threads about it in the past, <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/n-m-mcq-holmes-collection.337321/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/n-m-mcq-holmes-collection.337321/">here&#039;s the first</a>. </p><p>And this one features my clear forgery of a Saloninus coin with Postumus reverse, that I think classifies as a barbarous radiate. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1136027[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Antoninianus Saloninus caesar (258-260) – Postumus (259-268), contemporary forgery, hybrid with reverse of Postumus.

Reverse of Postumus, AGK 27, RIC V 67. <i>Ex Berk BBS 114 (23 May 2000), lot 433. Ex N.M.McQ. Holmes 768 (17 April 2019).</i></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
