<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 3330859, member: 75937&quot;]When Henry Clay Lindgren got up in years, he sold off his collection in a series of buy-or-bid sales by mail from his company, Antioch Associates. I purchased a few coins this way from him, including two plate coins from his first book.[1] Here are those:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/domitia-smyrna-jpg.744426/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Domitia, Augusta AD 82-96.</p><p>Roman Æ 17.3 mm, 3.15 gm, 7 h.</p><p>Ionia, Smyrna.</p><p>Obv: ΔΟΜΙΤΙΑ ΑΥΓΟΥΣΤΑ, bare-headed and draped bust right.</p><p>Rev: ΣΜΥΡΝΑΙΩΝ, Nemesis standing left, plucking at chiton on her neck, bridle in left hand.</p><p>Refs: BMC 309; ex-Lindgren I, 80-404 (plate coin).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/annia-faustina-isinda-jpg.670216/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Annia Faustina, 3rd wife of Elagabalus, Augusta, AD 221.</p><p>Roman provincial AE 25.0 mm, 8.55 gm.</p><p>Pisidia, Isinda, AD 221.</p><p>Obv: ANNIAN FAVCTEINAN, bare-headed and draped bust right.</p><p>Rev: [ΙΣ] ΙΝ ΔΕΩΝ, Confronted heads of Serapis and Isis, in field, E-Delta (yr. 4 ).</p><p>Refs: Ex Lindgren I A1322A, ex von Aulock, Pisidia I 833 (Plate coin for both references).</p><p><br /></p><p>I also have a plate coin from Houghton:[2]</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/laodike-selucia-jpg.810609/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Laodike IV, wife and sister of both Seleucus IV and Antiochus IV.</p><p>Selucia in Pieria, 175-164 BC.</p><p>AE 3.33 gm; 15 mm.</p><p>Obv: Veiled bust of Laodike IV, r.</p><p>Rev: ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΝΤΙΟΧΟΥ (of King Antiochus), elephant head l.; prow.</p><p>Refs: Houghton, CSE 113 (plate coin); Forrer 183.</p><p><br /></p><p>~~~</p><p><br /></p><p>1.
