[QUOTE="Smojo, post: 2629142, member: 78058"]To be honest I think this is one of my firsts of 2017. Time seems to slip by and I lose all track of everything before I realize it. At any rate I have to thank JA for working with me on this one. I seem to have more Postumus coins than any other Emporer. This is my third coin obtained from YOC that is part of the same hoard. Two of which are Postumus. The other is Victorinus. I've spent the better part of the weekend trying to capture decent photos. Not just this coin but a few others.:banghead: After frustration I'm going to use JA's pics for this post. Much better than mine. :D The silvering is really pretty cool. Postumus AE Billon 22mm, 2.5g, 6h Lugdunum 262 AD IMP C POSTVMVS PF AVG Radiate, cuirassed bust right PM TR PIIII COSIII PP Mars walking right with trophy and transverse spear RIC Vb 57 [ATTACH=full]578203[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]578204[/ATTACH] I did get a somewhat decent shot of the reverse. As usual I welcome your input and please share what ever you feel like. But I wouldn't mind seeing some of your different reverses.[/QUOTE]
