<p>[QUOTE="Teddydogno1, post: 1969254, member: 71226"]Thanks for all of the help on my other thread for "ancient shopping". I still plan to pick up a few more. This was a "target of opportunity" at my local coin shop. His "ancient aisle" was actually about half a tray of denarii and antoninianii (? guessing on the plural here). This was the low end ($25) and it ran up to one that was AU or even Uncirc. ($120). I have been having trouble getting good lighting on my coin pics. This photo has had the brightness and contrast adjusted to bring out as much detail as I could, but it still looks MUCH better in person. I've looked at photos of a LOT of Gordian III coins since bringing this home Friday and I've not seen this exact reverse. It appears to be a figure in toga with right hand holding a grounded spear and the left a cornucopia maybe. Any help as to what the legends SHOULD read would be appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]349058[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]349057[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Any and all comments are welcome!</p><p><br /></p><p>Rob[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
