<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TJC, post: 2544754, member: 45502&quot;]I have been slowly chipping away on my 3rd century set and have just added this Herennius Etruscus billion antoninianus. I find the doubling on the obverse to be interesting and I am digging the Mercury reverse.&nbsp; Although partially silvered coins can lack eye appeal, I find the transitioned silvering on this one to be attractive along with the fairly strong portrait.&nbsp; It does show more silvering and less billion in hand but under the bright lights the granular porosity and underlying base metal shows through as so often the case with these old ants do. </p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to share your Herennius Etruscus coins<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Herennius Etruscus, As Caesar, Billion Antoninianus. </b></p><p>Q HER ETR MES DECIVS NOB C, bare-headed &amp; draped bust right</p><p>PIETAS AVGG S-C, Mercury standing left, holding purse &amp; caduceus.</p><p>2.81 grams</p><p>21.5 mm</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]545844[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]545845[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
