Three factors led to my purchase: the legible number, a reasonable price, and notably, the legion number IIII, which is in contrast to the more prevalent IV. This particular variety is uncommon among hoard finds, for instance, the Delos Hoard of 1905 did not include any. The graph below shared by user TenthGen on ForumAncientCoins provides insight, though I&#039;m uncertain about the availability of updates on recent hoard discoveries.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1593158[/ATTACH]</p><p>While the coin is certainly not in the best shape, it&#039;s definitely an upgrade to my previous ones with barely legible number.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1593159[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Please share you legionary or any other issues of Mark Antony.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
