<p>[QUOTE="furryfrog02, post: 7911788, member: 41219"]This guy arrived in the mail today. I really liked the reverse design with Sol holding the head of Serapis. It matches well with the one I picked up in my lot of $8 Ancients with Genius holding Victory. This coin was a wee bit more, at $14, but I still think it's pretty well priced.

[QUOTE="furryfrog02, post: 7911788, member: 41219"]This guy arrived in the mail today. I really liked the reverse design with Sol holding the head of Serapis. It matches well with the one I picked up in my lot of $8 Ancients with Genius holding Victory. This coin was a wee bit more, at $14, but I still think it's pretty well priced. Why are Maximinus II coins so pricey btw? Properly ID'ing it has been a bit more difficult since I haven't been able to find an exact match anywhere. The closest I can find is [URL='http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.6.anch.167b?lang=en']RIC 167b[/URL]. Is that the closest I will be able to get? I wasn't sure if the different officinas would be different RIC entries or not. [ATTACH=full]1366138[/ATTACH] Maximinus II Follis 312 AD Antioch Obverse: IMP C GAL VAL MAXIMINVS P F AVG; laureate head right. Reverse: SOLI INVICTO; Sol standing left in long robe, right hand raised, left hand holding head of Serapis; crescent over I in right field. Mintmark: ANT If anyone feels like it, share your Maximinus II Daia coins :) I wonder how many interesting reverses we can show.[/QUOTE]
