<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bing, post: 8187171, member: 44132&quot;]My first coin of 2022 is a coin I purchased at auction.&nbsp; The coin was mis-identified as Galerius with all the attribution attached including a RIC number:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;ROMAN EMPIRE. Galerius. AD. 305-313. Æ Antoninianus (6.74 gm; 25 mm). Cyzicus, 305-306. Laureate head to right / Genius standing left, modius on head, naked but for chlamys over left shoulder, holding patera from which liquid flows, and cornucopiae; KA in exergue. RIC 21b. Nice brown reddish patina. Well struck. Choice EF.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I had my doubts about it&#039;s identification the moment I laid eyes on it and have since reattributed it to Maximinus II Daia.&nbsp; It&#039;s a nice, well detailed coin probably not worth what I paid when adding auction and shipping fees), but I&#039;m happy with it.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1432479[/ATTACH]</p><p>MAXIMINUS II DAIA</p><p>AE Follis</p><p>OBVERSE: GAL VAL MAXIMINVS NOB CAES, laureate head right</p><p>REVERSE: GENIO CAESARIS Genius standing left, naked except for modius on his</p><p>head &amp; chlamis over shoulder, holding patera from which liquor flows &amp;</p><p>cornucopiae, MKΓ in ex</p><p>Struck at Cyzicus&nbsp; 305-308AD</p><p>6.74g, 25mm</p><p>Cyzicus RIC VI 35</p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes, one has to wonder about dealers to lazy to properly identify their inventory![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
