[QUOTE="Smojo, post: 2459547, member: 78058"]This recent pick up from YOC thru JA is 1 of the few ancient coinage I knew of before I took the leap into collecting ancient coins. I've seen pictures on the Internet, in books & magazines. The pictures I've seen before the coins were rough & never of the whole coin. This one being the first seeing with my own eyes. I hear that YOC had a difficult time acquiring them. A story I would love to read sometime. And thankful for his effort. It's one of the better examples I've seen. Although I'm sure those of you who have collected ancients for a while this is nothing new for you. But to me it's a small accomplishment. Postumus, 260-269 AD Billon Antoninianus, 20mm, 2.8g, 12h; Colonia Agrippa, 268 AD O bv. IMP C POSTUMUS P F AVG - Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust RT. Rev. PAX AVG Pax standing front, her head turned to left, holding an olive branch in RT hand and transverse sceptre in her left. Ref. RICHARD Vb 318, p. 363 From the MOSSY BOTTOM BARN HOARD [ATTACH=full]515226[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]515229[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]515227[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]515228[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
