<p>[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 3139412, member: 84744"]Thanks, Doug! Yeah, these are tough little guys, especially with any legend to speak of. I wish I understood them better. There are issues with long form legends and well-engraved wreaths, others where the obverse is clearly anepigraphic and the wreath like mine (circle or dotted circle), and then those like mine with partial legends. Sear says Antioch issues typically have partial legends, but he also says they have an exergual mint mark (also Nicomedia). I'm not sure I've ever seen one with a mint mark... have you? Most dealers seem to attribute all of these to Constantinople, but I doubt that's correct. Plus there are Vandal issues to complicate things further. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>If anyone can shed some light on all this I'd be most grateful![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
