<p>[QUOTE=&quot;thejewk, post: 6551315, member: 100136&quot;]I&#039;m constantly on the lookout for Carausius&#039; coins, but find myself passing on them when they appear most of the time because it&#039;s quite rare for the quality and cost ratio to hit my personal sweet spot.&nbsp; I have wanted a good long-necked portrait variety for some time also, so was pleased when I was the only bidder on this coin last week.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1262727[/ATTACH] </p><p>RIC V2 475</p><p>IMP C CARAVSIVS PF AVG</p><p>PAX AVG</p><p>S/P//-</p><p>25x23mm, 4.44g</p><p><br /></p><p>Along with the vast majority of Carausius&#039; coinage, this features Pax on the reverse, but overall I think it&#039;s a really well rendered coin, and other than the die break on his rather thick and long neck, and the surface roughness that I think is as much to do with corrosion as it is to do with the original state of the flan, it&#039;s in a pretty good condition and is rather nicer in the hand too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please share your usurpers, long necks, or anything else you fancy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
