<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3233054, member: 19463"]Those who read all the posts when these common Domna/Venus coins have appeared before might see that this one is an example of a bit less than the most common variety. I have a bit of a specialized set of these currently at 45 coins and can not blame CT for any since my first was purchased in the early 1960's. Since we are blaming TIF for everything, I'll show a pig coin from Kyzikos I have bought since I have known her. This one is a 7mm 0.2g wee little piggy. The reverse shows two tunny fish which I thought should make it twice as valuable in its day as the one fish from Kyzikos. I was wrong. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]844785[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This one also qualifies for this thread since it once belonged to Stevex6 who I suspect is responsible for quite a few tag-a-long purchases here, too. It is also 7mm and 0.2g but, I believe a bit earlier than the pig model. For now, I'll call both tetartemoria but really have no firm grasp on weight standards for these little fellows.
