<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Whizb4ng, post: 2128085, member: 54140&quot;]I am still coin barren for 2015 but these three coins I bought for my birthday last October. Work has finally slowed down a bit (I can&#039;t believe it is April already) so I now have time to post them.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first is a common type that I think the majority of us have by now and I managed to get it for an excellent price. It is from the Agora Auctions Dave Surber sale. I am very happy to have it as a part of my collection. (I am also stealing their photo)</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/pIMwiDn.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Thrace, Cherronesos. Ca. 400-350 B.C. AR hemidrachm </p><p>Forepart of lion right, looking back</p><p>Quadripartite incuse square; dot VE in one quarter and dot over pentagram in two quadrants. Weber 2408.</p><p>Ex Dave Surber (Agora Auctions 15, lot 16)</p><p><br /></p><p>The next is a Republican type that I really enjoy. I am a sucker for any coins with Mercury on them. I really enjoy his depiction on coinage. One day I am going to have the denarius with Mercury. I also stole this picture from the sale itself.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/wxpYHPb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>AE semuncia, Rome mint. </p><p>Helmeted head of Mercury right</p><p>ROMA Prow of galley right. </p><p>Crawford 41/11. </p><p>Ex RBW Collection (JHE Auctions 26, lot 39)</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, this coin was purchased as part of a group lot and stood out to me. I sold the other three coins in the lot and when priced out this coin cost me negative 10 dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/q04JoVG.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Constantine II, Siscia</p><p>CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB C, laureate bust right</p><p>CAESARVM NOSTRORVM, VOT dot X within wreath.
