[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 8201364, member: 110226"]First, that is great news about the cancer treatment. I do hope this turns the tide for you! I went through a bout with basal cell back in 1996. I think it is flaring up again. Now, getting back to Justin I, your coin's spokes and wheel pattern on his shoulder is very interesting. It didn't occur to me that some imaginative designs were used, and I wonder if they have any reference to an event, or if they were simply elements introduced by the artistic whim of the engraver. I have another Justin I follis in the mail, slowly wending its way to California from the UK. It is from Roma, a leftover from E-Sale 92 which probably didn't attract any bids because of its crudeness. However, the should pattern for this coin is a spiral. There are parallel line extending from the base of the circle, just like your coin. Possibly a comet or meteor (shooting star)? It's fun to speculate, though in fact those lines just represent folds in his gown, I believe. 15.58 grams Here is the Roma photo: [ATTACH=full]1437199[/ATTACH] Once the coin arrives I'll take a picture of it.[/QUOTE]
