[QUOTE="Mat, post: 2890104, member: 21445"]Recently I picked up 2 coins from @[URL='https://www.cointalk.com/members/victor_clark.10613/']Victor_Clark[/URL] I parted with a nice Gordy ant I have had for awhile to [USER=76194]@Sallent[/USER] & picked up a different Gordy ant. It was in Victors stock for awhile & I had eyed it for a long time. It's pretty overweight, 6.2g. We've seen 5gs and even a 7g, but over 6g is pretty scarce. This roach definitely enjoyed extra time in the silver buffet section. Finally decided to get it. The other coin is just a nice AE2 of Honorius, a common type but I had needed him as a whole for my collection. Price was right.

R: SECVRIT PERP; Securitas standing left with scepter, leaning on column. Rome Mint 25mm 6.2g RIC IV Rome 151 [IMG]https://s1.postimg.org/168dq1pkxr/honor.jpg[/IMG] Honorius (392 - 395 A.D.) Æ2 O: DN HONORIVS P F AVG; pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right. R: GLORIA ROMANORVM; Emperor standing, facing head right, holding standard and globe. ANTΓ in ex.
