<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryro, post: 8132637, member: 91461&quot;]Where are our LRB pros at?</p><p>I thought I would give myself a fun little adventure and picked up a 2 buck LRB in the last NBS sale. I had a good experience with them last time and find that there are pretty good deals from auction houses that are on their way up and new to the scene.</p><p>The only thing remarkable about the coin is that the emperor has a beard. Which is pretty rare for a LRB. </p><p>In their description, NSB said, &quot;Barbaric issue probably Valens&quot;. Interesting guess, but Valens didn&#039;t have a beard.</p><p>I do believe it is too late to be a Julian II. So, what other bearded emperors are there?</p><p>Only rare ones come to mind.</p><p>Procopius? Though, I couldn&#039;t find a coin of his with the advancing Victory reverse and he is pretty rare.</p><p>Eugenius? Now I must be dreaming as he is VERY rare. Though, he does have a beard and the Victory advancing is his most common reverse. </p><p>And if it is barbarous, awesome! But why would they put a bearded face on a coin they were going to try to pass of as legit when there were so few bearded emperors? </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1416632[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Barbaric issue probably Valens, Ae</p><p>Reference:</p><p>Condition: Very Fine</p><p><br /></p><p>Weight: 1,6 gr</p><p>Diameter: 15 mm</p><p><br /></p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]JcR1W9zCjCM[/MEDIA]</p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts, ideas or similar coins would be appreciated. And if you think it is just a barbarous imitative then please say that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
