<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orange Julius, post: 4622646, member: 77226&quot;]Not much new here. Not many new coins and although working from home... not much time for coining lately (have demanding 3 and 1 year olds). </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s one that some of you may recognize from the 2nd Ancient and Medieval Coins Canada auction. It went unsold there but I picked it up on ebay for less than the previous opening bid. It&#039;s pretty fully silvered... but that silver is covered with a black tarnish that makes it tricky to photograph. This photo is dark but what it looks like in-hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin is from the Ticinum mint EQVITI series II. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1144360[/ATTACH] </p><p>Probus, AE Antoninianus. Ticinum mint.</p><p>Obv: IMP C PROBVS AVG, radiate bust left, wearing imperial </p><p>mantle and holding eagle-tipped sceptre.</p><p>Rev: CONCORD MILIT, Concordia standing left, holding two ensigns.</p><p>E to left, star to right. Mintmark PXXI</p><p>Reference RIC V-2 Ticinum 480.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought another from the same auction and EQVITI series... but it is even more difficult to photograph so I&#039;ll use the seller&#039;s photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1144361[/ATTACH] </p><p>Probus.
