Message:: [QUOTE="LukeGob, post: 21345618, member: 73885"]So, old thread, I know, but still. I look out for these too; FINALLY found one with a legible Ob Leg. Sort of, anyway. It's listed for sale in a lot of similar coins for way too much money, so I don't have it in-hand to verify it's authenticity, but it looks legit to me from the listing picture. (I also finally scored one for myself, but that's a different post). This example is imitative, which is what I think they probably all are. And, interestingly enough, it's one of the "DM....." legend types. Like the Vict. Adv. L. W/wr & palm, both held forward, cross-in-wr left-field types, which have similar, or identical, ob legends to each other & to this one. There's also some with anepigraph/cross-in-wr Re. The style of those coins, the one below & all the examples of "Leontius" monograms that I've seen also looks like a match to me (though the Ob of the Leontius pieces are never nice, so, grain of salt). I've got a theory about them, but that's neither here nor there. I'll post some pics of examples from my collection when I dig them out, if anybody cares. Anyway, I was gonna post a link to the listing, it's on Ebay (It's past already, but "see original listing" is an option for a while), but it's dawned on me that that might not be allowed, posting a link to a coin for sale. I'll post a screenshot of the listing-pic of the coin. Sorry, I can't crop the screenshot with my phone (or don't know how to), best I can do under the circumstances, I tried. But I think it's worth preserving some record of it. It's an interesting coin; wish the seller would see reason with the price. If it's ok to do, I'll gladly post a link to the lot if anyone's interested. If it is not allowed, and anyone wants to see it, I can figure out a different way to message it to you.
