<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor_Clark, post: 8071770, member: 10613&quot;]Thanks to everyone for the kind comments, but I have to add the coin I was most excited to win this year, even though it did not make the top ten. I also won it the same day I won this Constantine SPES PVBLIC</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1400342[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>which I was excited to win, but it cost a bit; so it evened out the thrill.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The coin I was really excited to win was this coin with a heroic Herculean bust, not listed in RIC. There are fewer known of these bust types than SPES PVBLIC&#039;s; but the CONSERVATOR type can of course never compete with the SPES for desirability.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1400343[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Maximianus</p><p>A.D. 289- 290</p><p>22mm 3.9g</p><p>IMP C M A VAL MAXIMIANVS P F AVG; heroic nude bust right, with drapery over shoulders.</p><p>CONSERVATOR AVGG; Maximianus holding sceptre, and Hercules, leaning on club; standing face to face, sacrificing at altar; B in right field</p><p>In ex.
