<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1751747, member: 19463"]Mine just arrived today but I'll show it for a slight difference. I did not buy it for that reason (actually I planned to postage piggy back it with another coin from the same dealer but got outbid at 2 seconds for that one so this is all I got). Note Siscia here shows the woman actually kissing Gratian's hand. The coin has enough detail that you can see face detail on both reverse figures. I don't buy many volume IX coins but this seemed nice and came from an eBay seller I have dealt with on several occasions. There is nothing wrong with eBay if you stick to people you trust.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]275597[/ATTACH]</p><p> </p><p>Anyone have a 'lip contact' coin from another mint? The standard description of the type is 'emperor raises female' but this one really looks like a photo snapped just before he raised her and perhaps should be called 'kneeling female kisses emperor's hand'.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
