<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 772396, member: 19463&quot;]The Tetricus I posted today was correctly Tetricus I but I see the reverse as FIDES MILITVM rather than the listed Laetitia.&nbsp; The Tetricus II was posted way back in Frbruary (before I discoverd CoinTalk) and is correctly IDed (I agree with the reverse listed) but the obverse for Tetricus can not end in AVG and does read CAES as it should.&nbsp; The common obverse for Tetricus II Caesar is C PIV ESV TETRICVS CAES but this one is not fully claer on the left so I can&#039;t say what it read.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I do not see either one as barbarous.&nbsp; The Tetricus I is pretty beat up but I think it probably was official.&nbsp; The barbarous coin in the bunch is the Claudius II Gothicus commemorative with Daggarjon&#039;s &quot;sickly dragon, dead possum, weird alien salamander&quot; reverse.&nbsp; It should be an eagle but I&#039;ll agree that the style is not very good.&nbsp; In this period, it is hard to draw a line between official and imitative examples but it makes little difference since both sell for about the same price.&nbsp; In fact, an imitative with wild style and perfect workmanship (full legends) should sell for more than the real thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
