<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 3330237, member: 44316&quot;]I recently bought Sear&#039;s <i>Roman Coins and Their Values</i> volume V. I have <i>RIC</i>, so I didn&#039;t need it but thought it would be good to complete the set. To my surprise I found a coin I own as a plate coin:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]882415[/ATTACH] </p><p>Sear worked with NFA for a while and many of his plate coins are ex NFA. This one was NFA auction XVI, Dec. 2, 1985, lot 547. </p><p>AE24. 6.09 grams. </p><p>HOC SIGNO VICTOR ERIS (&quot;In this sign you will be victorious&quot;)</p><p>Struck under Vetranio, March 25 - Dec. 25 350.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is an important early Christian type. For more on early Christian symbols on Roman coins, see</p><p><a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/Christian/ChristianSymbols.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/Christian/ChristianSymbols.html" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/Christian/ChristianSymbols.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>RIC Siscia 282. Sear V 18203 <i>this coin</i>. </p><p><br /></p><p>This thread could go two ways. Show us early Christian symbols on coins, or show us plate coins![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
