<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 3986002, member: 97383&quot;]Q, You&#039;ve got a couple of Macrinus jewels <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! The Antioch Tet would be nearly impossible to duplicate &amp; appears to be struck in exceptional metal for a War Issue. The portrait on the Nicopolis bronze is breathtaking <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, &amp; could stand up to the finest examples from the Rome Mint <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. The detail on the back shoulder view enhances the composition &amp; gives Macrinus a royal appearance. The reverse composition is beautifully done also. This coin is a one in a million find. Anyone who thinks all provincial coinage is inferior to the product from the Rome Mint needs to take a close look at these two coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie100" alt=":wideyed:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
