<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 3822615, member: 97383&quot;]Those are three nice looking coins James <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. The 1st coin was struck AD 308-311, not 295. The coin is a perfect strike, well centered &amp; appears to be in mint state. The ligatured <b>CMH</b> mark on the reverse has always intrigued me. I&#039;ve only seen it on coins of Galerius &amp; Maximinus II Daia &amp; no one seem to know what it means <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, do you ? A fellow collector once speculated that <b>CMH</b> could mean &quot;48 coins per Roman pound&quot;, but I&#039;ve never seen this in writing anywhere. The 3rd coin from Ticinum is quite hefty (12.3 gm) &amp; has a wonderful verdigris patina. I wonder if the incrustation could have boosted the weight ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
