<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 2738635, member: 74968&quot;]Having read some of the history on Valens I have wanted to get a coin of his. I was watching this for the last several days and then won the auction today. I usually do not have to up my bid too many times in a Naville auction, but I did to get this one.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is a scarce coin. There is one example in the CNG archives, and a total of 3 on&nbsp; acsearch including the CNG example.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please post your solidii or your coins of Valens. Oh well, that is another historical figure off the list. It is not a problem free coin, but it is still attractive imho.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=44132]@Bing[/USER] I know you have one of these. Please post it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Valens, 364-378 Solidus Nicomedia circa 364-367, AV 20.5mm., 3.93g. Pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust r. Rev. Emperor standing facing, head right, holding labarum and Victory on globe. In exergue, SMNS. RIC 2b. Dep. 13/2.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]624815[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
