<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orange Julius, post: 24710428, member: 77226&quot;]That’s a cool coin! And to think that much of Western Europe was making coins like this while the Byzantines were still plugging away with a lot of scrappy bronze. I have yet to buy any medieval silver… I need to change that!</p><p><br /></p><p>That’s a great coin with a great portrait! I went to see what I have for Philip and much of what I have is pretty common and underwhelming. Philip has been a “buy em if you seem em cheap” emperor. I need to buy some nice coins from his reign. I do have this sesterius and many budget and common reverse ants.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1579369[/ATTACH]</p><p>Philip I, RIC 150c</p><p>Æ Sestertius</p><p>Rome mint, Struck AD 244-249</p><p>Obv.: IMP PHILIPPVS AVG, laurate, draped bust of Philip I facing right.</p><p>Rev.: PM TR P IIII COS III P P (around) S C (in field), Felicitas standing left, holding a long caduceus and cornucopiae.</p><p>RIC 150c (S); Cohen 140</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the thread, and it’s 1000 posts, thanks everyone for participating!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1579370[/ATTACH]</p><p>I’ve always like this thread for this reason… I often see amazing, well researched, and insightful threads here. I have little kids and just don’t have the time to build the type of post I’d like to for each coin. This thread gave me, and others a place to post our new and old coins without the (self-generated) pressure associated with a stand-alone thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, thanks again everyone, let’s see your coins![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
