[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 3019219, member: 91461"]I thought I would steal a page out of the book of one of the funniest CT pals, [USER=10461]@lordmarcovan[/USER] , and post a poll to see if I got the great deal that I think I got. I won this on eBay (from a seller I have purchased from many times and trust) for what I believe to be the low low rock bottom price of $111 (keeping in mind, that is a months coin budget for myself). It's a Nigrinian!!! If you've never heard of him keep in mind here is about all we know of him... He was probably the son of Roman Emperor Carinus and so a Caesar. We think Magna Urbica was his mom. Though that's up for dispute as some say he was Carinus' sister's kid. He died in infancy in late 284 or early 285. After his death he was defied. Hence the Divo on the coin. Check it out!

Mintmark KA dot-in-crescent A (second coin: KAA). RIC 472, Cohen 2; Sear 12411. Let me know what you think. And please post your Nigrinians or any coins pertinent to the topic![/QUOTE]
