<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 2803527, member: 14873&quot;]In the &quot;Tetrarchies and the London Mint&quot; thread I wrote:</p><p><br /></p><p>(List of users who posted to the Thread)</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;I think it is the appropriate time to pause this thread. I have a few Tetrarchic associated coins that are surplus to my needs -- not all of them are London Mint folles, but they all have some historical association. I have always believed in &quot;sharing the wealth&quot; by giving surplus coins to fellow enthusiasts who would appreciate them and I have been looking for a way to do that here -- I think I have found it. The above users have demonstrated their enthusiasm by posting to this thread. So I say to each of them: If you would like to receive a free coin, please PM me your snail mail address and I will mail you a coin. Caveat: I no longer drive and therefor only mail from my home -- exclusively to United States addresses.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>That worked very well and I would like to do a similar thing in this thread. However I have only one surplus coin to offer here so I need to find a different way to select a worthy recipient. I want to insure, if possible, that the coin goes to a member who is genuinely interested in this coin issue and will appreciate its historical significance -- not just someone who wants a &quot;freebie coin&quot;. I solicit suggestions on ways for me to do this.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin is a &quot;hard to come by&quot; example in the AVGGG series issued by Carausius:</p><p><br /></p><p><b>RIC, Volume V-2, Londinium, Carausius, No. 34</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Antoninianus.</p><p><br /></p><p>Struck by Carausius in the name of Maximian Herculius (Maximianus).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://jp29.org/00000caro.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://jp29.org/00000carr.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>IMP C MAXIMIANVS P F AVG</b></p><p><br /></p><p><b>PAX AVGGG</b> | <b>S -------- P</b></p><p><b>M L XXI</b></p><p><br /></p><p>5.24 gm.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
