<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LukeGob, post: 24739862, member: 73885&quot;]I had one of those weeks where a few auctions you&#039;re in all close in a bunch. I got the 3 lots I really wanted, 2 are coins that were on my &quot;list&quot; (the handful of coins you really really want but can&#039;t find/afford). I don&#039;t even have them in-hand yet (knock on wood), but I&#039;m walking on air &amp; I gotta crow a little or I&#039;ll burst. </p><p>Picked up:</p><p>-Evdocia AE, Emps. Enth. Arms X-ed at chest, CONCOR-DIA AVG / CONS (it&#039;s not the prettiest coin there ever was, but devices are all there w/enough Ob leg to attribute &amp; portrait is nice enough &amp; I love it so much from just the listing pics)</p><p>-Theodosius II AE3/4 CONCOV-DIA AGV (sic), Emp. Stg. F. W/Stdrd &amp; cross on globe / CONS</p><p>Full Ob-Leg on a full flan, which is VERY unusual, but an unfortunate scratch through the portrait. Full Re, too, just a little weakness? or worn-die? at 12°. Sure, it&#039;s got a little wear &amp; could&#039;ve been burried in better conditions &amp; nothing from that time is nice, but it&#039;s pretty darn good for-type, I think. Thrilled to have one in any condition, really. </p><p>-Theoderic monogram 2.5 nummi. </p><p><br /></p><p>Got them for pretty good prices, too. Hell, the Theoderic was flat out cheap (Ebay).</p><p><br /></p><p>Theoderic was the last one to end so I guess it&#039;s the latest. Screen-shot of the listing-pic below (not my finger, sorry for the junk in the border, best I can do right now &amp; too pleased with myself to care). Can&#039;t wait to see it in-hand; looks like it&#039;ll be a beautiful coin. </p><p>I&#039;ll post pics of the other 2 when they arrive.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, the Theo II &amp; Evdocia were my list coins. I&#039;ve been hunting the Evdocia type for years (comes in the name of 3 Empresses; Evdocia, Galla Placidia or Pulcheria). I&#039;ve seen some others offered but kept losing out in the end (only 1 was actually attributed. Not this one. I think the type may be a bit more common than it&#039;s thought to be &amp; a good percent hide in plain sight, unnoticed). And I thought I&#039;d never really get a chance to own the Theo II type; hoped, but didn&#039;t expect.</p><p><br /></p><p>On air! Walking right on it!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1582653[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
