[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 4181887, member: 44316"]I had collected late Roman coins quite a few years before I got my first siliqua. I was, and am, a big fan of late Roman AE, but I didn't expect to "do" siliquae. However, I recently added this one to my small group: [ATTACH=full]1075391[/ATTACH] Constantius II. 317-337-361. 20 mm. 2.92 grams. Silver siliqua. CONSTANTI-VS PF AVG, rosette-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right, seen from the front. VICTORIA AVGVSTORVM Victory with wreath and palm, advancing left SIS upward crescent, dot within RIC VIII Siscia 162 struck "Spring 340 - 19 Jan 350" RSC Constantius II 230 Sear V 17912. Formerly in an NGC slab, but that didn't last long. I don't think the slab helped sell it. It is not the high grade I think slab buyers want. But, I looked at the coin and liked the style and surfaces. I bought the coin, not the slab. By the way, NGC had it "VF, strike 3, surfaces 4." Show us a siliqua![/QUOTE]
