Message:: [QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1075307, member: 19463"]Tracing this a little more I'll link one of the coins to its sale where it is correctly described. The other coin in that box is a different date (a nine 6+1+1+1) so posting them together seems odd.  They were not sold together.<a href="http://cngcoins.com/Search.aspx?IS_ADVANCED=1&ITEM_IS_SOLD=1&ITEM_INVENTORY_NUMBER=&CONTAINER_NAME=&ITEM_LOT_NUMBER=1325&ITEM_DESC=justin&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_1=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_3=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_2=1&VIEW_TYPE=0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cngcoins.com/Search.aspx?IS_ADVANCED=1&ITEM_IS_SOLD=1&ITEM_INVENTORY_NUMBER=&CONTAINER_NAME=&ITEM_LOT_NUMBER=1325&ITEM_DESC=justin&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_1=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_3=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_2=1&VIEW_TYPE=0" rel="nofollow">http://cngcoins.com/Search.aspx?IS_ADVANCED=1&ITEM_IS_SOLD=1&ITEM_INVENTORY_NUMBER=&CONTAINER_NAME=&ITEM_LOT_NUMBER=1325&ITEM_DESC=justin&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_1=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_3=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_2=1&VIEW_TYPE=0</a> I'm posting this here asking anyone interested to compare the OP coin which is year 5 and the Triton coin which is year six. At this time the six was not done with a VI but using a separate character like the u shaped 5 but with the left arm curved over rather than pointing straight up. Even more odd is the fact that seven was then made by adding a single I to the six mark so many beginners will misdate a 7 coin as a six. If you gather the whole series of this issue you will not find one with four I's since nine only requires three and the six mark while ten uses the normal X. For comparison I'll offer a Cyzicus mint half (I do not have a Nikomedia Justin) dated year 8 made by a curved top 6 and two ones.[/QUOTE]
