[QUOTE="Smojo, post: 2471258, member: 78058"]My most recent pick up. I've tried to find time earlier in the week to post but had a busy schedule. For some reason I have a fascination with Pax and have set out to collect ancients which portrait her. Maybe it has to do with my own search to find peace in this life. I think the hardest part will be finding coins with a clean strike. I'm sure you all know most coins that portrait Pax are usually weak and messy. This buy made possible from YOC thru JA. I appreciate both of you for the opportunity. Making my second coin from the "Mossy Bottom Barn Hoard". I love the strike on both sides. The reverse with Pax is difficult to find such a clean strike that this coin has. Victorinvs 269-271 AD AE Antoninanus, 19mm 2.5g, 12H Cologne mint Obv. IMP C VICTORINVS P F AVG. Radiate, draped bust right. Rev. PAX AVG; Pax standing left holding branch and scepter/ V-Star Ref. RICV (B) 116, p. 397 Mossy Bottom Barn Hoard [ATTACH=full]519909[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]519910[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
