<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2375851, member: 19463&quot;]Every so often I feel the need to show this regrettable coin.&nbsp; I found it in a junk box many years ago and made it into a necklace for my wife who has worn it a number of times.&nbsp; The obverse is shot but most likely Magnentius.&nbsp; I feel guilty turning any coin into jewelry but this one was one sided so I did.&nbsp; It got worse whn my wife and I had dinner with Valentinian and his wife at the home of a mutual friend and he commented on a point I had missed.&nbsp; The coin has a definiteSiscia mintmark and there are no known coins of Magnentius from that city.&nbsp; Oops!&nbsp; I feel better in that the spelling errors make it quite certainly barbarous but why someone copied a common reverse of Magnentius and changed the mintmark to Siscia is just another of those question that will never be answered.&nbsp; Look at the good side: I didn&#039;t drill a hole in it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":angelic:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]486370[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Show any coins that prove you are dumber than a box of rocks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
