anther nice group of LRB JA! i like the valens best i think, that weird little captive guy is awesome.

 

What I find interesting is that that coin comes from the first period issues, before they started adding field marks to the reverses. So the engravers had a little more room to work with on those coins than later ones.

 

Just won this little Honorius/Victory Crowning Emperor type.



It may not look like much, but like so many coins of the Theodosian Dynasty, these were not generally well-made. This is the finest example I've seen. Much better than anything currently on vcoins, acsearch, and wildwinds. And much better than the one coin of its type CNG ever chose to list as a separate lot...



CNG 191 Lot 309 Sold for $92 before buyer's fees.

I got mine for $9 shipped. Shhh

 

Nice pickup, JA ... eye-pleasing desert patina, eh?

Sadly, I don't have any Honorius examples to add to your thread



oh, oops => ummm, which coin did you buy, the top one? (it's awesome too)

 

Very nice JA

 

Well done! Hopefully the winner of the CNG auction doesn't check in...

 

Well, what's a man to do when he's offered nice coins for cheap? Buy them of course! Seller's pics...

Really love the reverse of the Max II

 

Yeah - great modius on Genius, eh? The depiction of Sol running with whip on the Constantine II also has great style and a super strike.

 

Agreed.

 

excellent modius...and nipples!

but seriously that reverse is dang near perfect, 3 solid LRB!

 

I didn't notice the nipples. I wonder why someone would???????

 

Post your nipples!

 

NIKE Nipples => Just do it



... ummm, and that Bullman certainly has some game as well!! (he may have jockey underwear endorsement possibilities?)

 

Handsome portrait on that Maximinus II! Am I the only one seeing a resemblance?

 

Yeah, but I don't have a modius like that.

 

Oh oh. I see a photoshop coming along...
