<p>[QUOTE=&quot;furryfrog02, post: 8159836, member: 41219&quot;]A few weeks ago, I was spending my evening looking at coins as I am known to do. I came across an interesting provincial coin of Maximianus Thrax. I liked the reverse of Tyche and had never seen it before. </p><p><br /></p><p>Off to acsearch I went to find some other examples. I was surprised that there was only one. What surprised me more was that it seemed to be the exact coin I was looking at that was for sale. </p><p><br /></p><p>It originally went unsold in a Savoca auction in 2018 and then ended up on ebay from a seller in the States. The seller offered me a good price so I went ahead and bought it.</p><p><br /></p><p>It arrived today and I am nearly 100% sure it is the same coin from the 2018 Savoca auction. The weight and diameter are the same as well as the pitting/notches. I would like to know how it made it from Germany to my house. I&#039;m sure it&#039;s not as interesting as I am imagining it to be <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the ebay seller&#039;s pictures vs the Savoca pictures</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1424110[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And here it is in my hand today:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1424111[/ATTACH] </p><p>Maximinus I</p><p>AE18</p><p>Deultum, Thrace</p><p>235-238 AD</p><p>Obverse: IMP MAXIMINVS AVG, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right. </p><p>Reverse: C F P D, Homonoia standing left, holding patera and cornucopiae.</p><p>Varbanov 2430; Moushmov 3640</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Have you ever been perusing coin auctions and run across a coin like I did? If so, feel free to post them if you bought them. Or post whatever else you see fit; Max Thrax, Homonia, coins of Deultum, etc...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
