[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 3602890, member: 87809"]The generally easy availability of coins of this emperor is due solely to the hyperactive mints during his reign that placed millions of Antoniniani in circulation. Tacitus’ coins are straddled by the even more prolific coins of Aurelian preceding and Probus succeeding him. Despite the brief rule, Tacitus’ coins are readily available in all grades. That is, so long as you don’t expect anything more than Antoniniani. Coinage in other metals and denominations are considerably more difficult to find. I have only one Tacitus Antoniniani, Gallia, Lugdunum, 275 - 276 AD; 2nd Officina, 7th emission 20 mm, 3.46 g Ref.: RIC V Tacitus 34; Cohen 65; Sear88 3308; Bastien 98; Ob.: IMP CL TACITVS AVG Tacitus, radiate, draped, cuirassed, right Rev.: PAX AETERNA Pax, draped, standing left, holding olive-branch in right hand and scepter in left hand Mintmark: B / *//- [CENTER][ATTACH=full]964319[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]964321[/ATTACH][/CENTER][/QUOTE]
