<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aethelred, post: 2598504, member: 81808&quot;]As you can see in the first four photos below, this coin has an unsightly buildup of Polyethylene that has formed in a rectangular pattern around this otherwise very pleasant example of a Philip II Antoninianus. For those who are interested the coin is RIC IV 330 and was issued at the Rome Mint in AD 247, two years before Philip was executed at age 12 by Decius (according to an alternate story he was killed at the same time as his father while on campaign).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.wnccoins.com/Broken%20Philip%20II%20Slab%201.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.wnccoins.com/Broken%20Philip%20II%20Slab%202.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.wnccoins.com/Broken%20Philip%20II%20Slab%203.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.wnccoins.com/Broken%20Philip%20II%20Slab%204.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.wnccoins.com/BIB%20Philip%20II%20Obv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://www.wnccoins.com/BIB%20Philip%20II%20Rev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
