My VIRTVS PROBI INVICTI AVG Ticinum coded EQVITI set - SET NO. 3. This set is quite difficult to complete; it took me a few years

 

Completing a Ticinum EQVITI set with the rare and desirable dated consular obverse legends is also very challenging (especially if one wants to get 6 coins with exactly the same wording of the consular obverse legend; there are numerous variants out there with CONS III, CONS IIII and CONS V).

Below is my almost complete dated Ticinum EQVITI series (I still need to get the PAX AVGVSTI) - set no. 4:

 

I have not yet completed the Ticinum AEQVIT series (Ticinum 7th issue according to K. Pink classification). This series is extremely rare and very difficult to complete. Below are my 3 coins from this issue:

 

And finally my Roman AEQVITI series. This series is not that difficult to complete if one is determined however it is a little bit scarcer than the first two Ticinum sets which I showed above. The last two letters struck by officanae 6 and 7 respectively have two reverse variants.

 

WOW, @barnaba6, this is quite a set of sets! fun to see them all and all with such nice coins. Here's my latest addition of E*, which holds up well even under high magnification:

 

Very nice indeed.

Below are my two sets from the 10th issue with star in field (the set with military bust with spear and shield is not complete - I still lack the Concord Abg coin somehow):

 

And that's pretty much all as regards my EQVITI / AEQVITI / AEQVIT Probus series.
