<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 1134882, member: 5739&quot;]No, No <b>Ripley</b> my friend, you are still a little bit confused on this I think, the one of yours with the hole in head <b><u>IS </u></b> a denarius, it was the one you posted above that has no hole at all with what looks to be Minerva on the back that is a Drachm and has Greek titles rather than Latin, if you look the one with the hole in the head, it has Latin titles, a Roman God (Felicitas) on the reverse and looks to be from the Rome mint, the other one has a Greek God on the reverse, Greek titles, and looks to be from a different mint than Rome, but I know not which mint sadly, someone here does and will post in that thread eventually I hope. I am confused on this one too, as I cannot find any similar coin types.</p><p><br /></p><p>The silver coin of yours in which is likely a Drachm, and has Greek titles is posted in the &#039;5 good emperors&quot; thread, post number 18 in that thread, #18, you posted it as being of Antoninus Pius, but <b>dougsmit</b> corrected you I believe.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please do not take my tone to by harsh or condescending, I say this all in the nicest tone, hoping to spread correct knowledge of these coins, which I think is important.</p><p>I would suggest you may even want to start a brand new thread about that partcular coin alone, to find someone who knows where it is from, just be sure to provide the size of the coin and the photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>Original Thread for those not familiar, &#039;the 5 good emperors&#039; thread: <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t163636/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t163636/">http://www.cointalk.com/t163636/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
