[QUOTE="furryfrog02, post: 3222942, member: 41219"]I've spent a better portion of the day trying to find this coin. I picked it up on Saturday at the Baltimore show along with the other coins I've posted today. It was in a tray of "pick your own for xx dollars". My son picked out the Apollodotus Drachm that I posted yesterday and I picked out this denarius and a couple others that I figured would be relatively easy to ID. However, here I sit feeling like a total moron because I can't find anything that it matches to save my life. On the obverse I see: IMP MAXIMINVS PIVS AVG On the reverse I see: It looks to me to be Aequitas holding scales to the left and a cornucopia on the right. I've checked the resources I have and I can't find anything that is close to a match. I've not only looked at just Aequitas reverses, but every different reverse of a Maximinus that I can find. Am I completely off base? Am I missing something basic that is throwing me off completely? [ATTACH=full]839471[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
