<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul M., post: 2391620, member: 73165&quot;]Here is my latest acquisition, with the seller&#039;s pictures and attribution (which seems to be correct):</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://images.vcoins.com/product_image/116/M/6/MTz53qKSji6J4NexfN9WTo22KH8r7k.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Marcus Aurelius (161-180 AD) for <b>Divus Antoninus Pius</b>.

Aurelius 433.</p><p><i>Scarce reverse type: only 21 specimens in Reka Devnia hoard.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>This coin spoke to me as I&#039;m starting to become interested in 2nd century posthumous issues (particularly denarii).&nbsp; I&#039;m curious about the &quot;scarce reverse type&quot; statement, though.&nbsp; What say you CT? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I can&#039;t find any information about this coin anywhere, other than its catalog number.&nbsp; And, while there are several eagle-reverse posthumous Antoninus Pius coins on VCoins, this one is the only one with the eagle on a globe. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, feel free to post your 2nd century posthumous issue coins! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
