<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 3405491, member: 72790"][ATTACH=full]904284[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]904283[/ATTACH] Members will immediately recognize this coin as a common double denarius of Philip I (the Arab). The reverse is of Philip, seated holding a globe, surrounded by the usual titles, PP, TRP II, COS, PP. When I acquire coins, eye appeal is important to me and this is an example of a good portrait of an interesting character. Unfortunately the reverse is a mushy strike but since, for me, the obverse is usually more important than the reverse so I find it quite pleasing to view. It is also an example of a good ancient coin at a pretty low cost. Its weight is 4.65 grams[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
