<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joshua Lemons, post: 8232044, member: 82388&quot;]I bought a lot of three ancients and have begun attributing them myself.&nbsp; These two were fairly simple but I&#039;m stuck between two choices on both.&nbsp; The reference I am using gives the same description for both so I need some expertise to tell the difference.</p><p>The first is a Gordian III antoninianus which I&#039;ve narrowed to RIC 64 or 65.&nbsp; My gut is it&#039;s 65 as it resembles the style of all the examples listed, but the description is exactly the same!&nbsp; So, what is the difference?&nbsp; Here&#039;s mine.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1447364[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1447365[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The second coin I&#039;m mainly looking for reassurance as I&#039;m new and a worrier.&nbsp; It&#039;s a beautiful Philip the Arab antoninianus that&#039;s either RIC 65 or 106a.&nbsp; I&#039;m leaning to 106a, right?&nbsp; There&#039;s no altar to the left?&nbsp; Either way a beautiful coin with some nice edge toning.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1447366[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1447367[/ATTACH] </p><p>As always, thanks for your help!&nbsp; I don&#039;t post a lot on the ancients forum as I&#039;m mainly lurking around and learning!&nbsp; I did hit a milestone this week though.&nbsp; I now own 20 ancient coins![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
