<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 5482299, member: 19463"]I do believe that, whenever we have a thread separating Maximianus and Galerius, we should at least mention that it is VERY important to be sure our coin has that A in MaximiAnus which separates the coins of Galerius and Maximinus II. We have seen postings here on Coin Talk too often which 'speed read' the legends and miss the fact that that second A is significant. If the coin reads MAXIM<u>IN</u>VS it does NOT belong to Maximianus or Galerius. Below is a London mint coin of Augustus Maximinus. See the lack of the (second) A!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1239080[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Some have a particularly hard time with this when there is a GAL in the legend. This is NOT a coin of Galerius. There is no second A between I and N so it is Maxim<u>in</u>us II.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1239083[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
