<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1820641, member: 42773&quot;]Today’s coin is a common ant of Gordian III, but one that I haven’t collected yet. As you can see, there’s nothing earth-shattering in this lot at all, but the coins were dirt cheap, and I’m happy to have them, AND...they’ve spurred me to read various volumes of RIC far more carefully than I have in the past. So all is well.</p><p><br /></p><p>5.
