[QUOTE="furryfrog02, post: 4536816, member: 41219"]I know a lot of people don't care too much for Gordian III coins. His coins are like the Toyota Corolla of the ancient coin world. They are every where and nice looking examples can be had for pretty cheap. I have been driving my Toyota since 2007. It was cheap, it is dependable, albeit not very beautiful :P Therefore, Gordian III and his coins have a special place in my heart :) I picked this up for a pittance, in my opinion, last week and it arrived in the mail today. It has a beautiful dark green patina and is pretty well centered although there are some weak/missing spots. Best of all, it fits my love of Victory/Nike! Overall, I absolutely love it! Gordian III AE25 Hadrianopolis, Thrace Obverse: AYT K M ANT ΓOΡΔIANOC AV, laureate, draped bust right Reverse: AΔΡIANOΠOΛEITΩN, Nike standing left with wreath and palm branch [ATTACH=full]1123281[/ATTACH] Let's show some love for the Toyota of the coin world, Gordian III.
