[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 4191174, member: 31620"]I had the opportunity recentlyto buy some Gallic Empire coins. This is not an area I focus on but sometimes you have to just go for it. Amongst the offerings was this Postumus with bust of Sol.The trade often tries to offer these as rare but I think that they are scarce rather than rare. The quality of engraving on Sol was what sold me on the coin immediately. It is nice to see a coin where the reverse die isn't very worn.... I know that there I at least one of these knocking about in CT Member collections ([USER=56653]@seth77[/USER]). Does anyone else have one? [B]Postumus Antoninianus[/B] Obv:– IMP C POSTVMVS P F AVG, Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right Rev:– PACATOR ORBIS, Radiate, draped bust of Sol right. Minted in Trier. A.D. 269 Reference– RIC 317 3.25 g. 19.41 mm. 0 degrees [ATTACH=full]1076108[/ATTACH] Martin[/QUOTE]
