<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 5404779, member: 87200&quot;]Some very nice antiquities Donna. I purchased an EF-FDC antoninianus of Phillip I / Fortuna Redux from Frank L. Kovacs at his office on Post Street in San Francisco back in 1984 for $100, who was my mentor in collecting. I was fourteen at the time and put most of the money from my SF Chronicle paper route into coins. I have no image of the coin as I sold it back in 1988 when I headed off to UC-Berkeley. Here is a similar coin (not as good, though).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/philip_I/RIC_0063b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Since that time the <a href="https://library.stanford.edu/blogs/stanford-libraries-blog/2016/07/transformative-numismatic-donation" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://library.stanford.edu/blogs/stanford-libraries-blog/2016/07/transformative-numismatic-donation" rel="nofollow">Frank L.
