<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Harry G, post: 7812278, member: 105282&quot;]Hi all! Some new coins just arrived from eBay, and I just thought I&#039;d share what they are <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1342328[/ATTACH] </p><p>Claudius II Gothicus mule antoninianus, with DIVO CLAVDIO obverse and SECVRIT AVG reverse. Much nicer in hand than my photos suggest</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1342316[/ATTACH] </p><p>*Technically* Tetricus II As Augustus. My photo of this was so bad, I&#039;ve had to use the seller&#039;s pics. This coin is also definitely barbarous.</p><p><br /></p><p>The bust definitely appears to be Tetricus II, and the obverse appears to read IMP C (?) TETRICVS AVG. I&#039;m not sure what the reverse is, but it might be something along the lines of MO[NETA A]VG, or maybe AB[VNDANTIA A]VG. I don&#039;t know, so if you have any thoughts, let me know <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1342322[/ATTACH] </p><p>Another Tetricus II Antoninianus, but this one is official. It has the obverse of Tetricus II, but the reverse of a Tetricus I coin: COMES AVG.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1342324[/ATTACH] </p><p>My fouree Philip I antoninianus that I made a post about recently. I can&#039;t find any other example of an antoninianus with the reverse &quot;SECVRITAS PERPET&quot;. I suspect it was copied from a sestertius of Gordian III, such as <a href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?param=73637q00.jpg&amp;vpar=716&amp;zpg=84926&amp;fld=https://www.forumancientcoins.com/Coins2/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?param=73637q00.jpg&amp;vpar=716&amp;zpg=84926&amp;fld=https://www.forumancientcoins.com/Coins2/" rel="nofollow">this one</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1342323[/ATTACH] </p><p>And finally, a pretty poor condition antoninianus of Macrianus, ROMAE AETERNAE reverse. Surprisingly, I won this coin (and 3 others) for the opening bid of £4.99 (so about £8 ($11) after postage). It was from a very popular UK seller too, so I&#039;m not sure how it slipped through the net.</p><p><br /></p><p>There was another coin that hasn&#039;t arrived yet - a scarce error antoninianus of Probus. I&#039;ll make a post about it when it arrives <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Show me some coins you got on eBay recently![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
