[QUOTE="Harry G, post: 7749872, member: 105282"]Nice thread! Here are some of mine that I don't think I've posted before. Aurelian antoninianus, fully silvered with some deposits. I actually think the deposits make the coin look nicer, especially reverse. [ATTACH=full]1326861[/ATTACH] Diocletian radiate. Fantastic bust, terrible reverse [ATTACH=full]1326862[/ATTACH] A Gordian III antoninianus with an older-looking portrait [ATTACH=full]1326863[/ATTACH] Maximianus antoninianus, almost fully silvered. This is part of his coded Hercules series, which I may have to make a post about in the future :). In short though, the 3 officianas (A, B and Γ) minted coins which each had part of the word Hercules in. Workshop [B]A[/B] had [B]HP[/B], workshop [B]B[/B] had [B]KOY[/B] and workshop [B]Γ[/B] had [B]ΛI[/B], so [B]HP/KOY/ΛI[/B] for Hercules, so this was from workshop B. This is also shown by the B in the right field [ATTACH=full]1326865[/ATTACH] Aaannnnnd finally a rare antoninianus of Tacitus, with INVICTVS in the obverse legend. [ATTACH=full]1326866[/ATTACH] Incidentally, all of these (apart from the Maximianus) were eBay buys, and they were generally £10 or £20 each :)[/QUOTE]
