<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 8300519, member: 86498&quot;]Denarius of Orbiana 225-227 AD Obv Bust right diademed and draped. Rv. Concordia seated left. RIC 319 2.57 grms 19 mm Photo by W. Hansen[ATTACH=full]1468360[/ATTACH]When I started to collect Roman coins back in the dark ages before the internet, I noticed that every denarius I had ever seen of Orbania had surface issue most notably porosity. I had no real idea why this was the case though I have seen other types minted during the early part of the third century AD that have consistently bad surfaces. (Dynastic denarii of Septimius Severus; I am looking at you.) So it was with some relief that a group of her coins without surface issues began to appear on the market circa 2010. I bought this coin in 2011.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
