<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1696032, member: 19463&quot;]The eagle seems to be the most common type through the mid to late 3rd century but it remains my favorite just because of the execution of the design and the fact that I get tired of the standing goddesses that make up the bulk of the other common ones.&nbsp; Probus is also a highlight because his legends were short enough that the letters are big enough to read.&nbsp; Sure we can figure out who most of the others are but it is nice to have clear legends.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I think my favorite Alexandrian eagle style is this year 5 Salonina with blocked off wings and tail and the reverted head pose.&nbsp; All of the later tets are a bit small but the ones that accompanied the terrible little late antoniniani are definitely&nbsp; worse than the ones from the days when silver coins still looked gray. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]257765.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
