<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Quant.Geek, post: 2451670, member: 74799&quot;]I just started collecting coins from the Vandals and the Goths.&nbsp; In fact, the new &quot;Barbarians Rising&quot; series on the History Channel has made it even more enticing.&nbsp; What I found is that collecting good quality specimens is VERY DIFFICULT and if you do find one, it is VERY EXPENSIVE <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; All the posted coins are really nice!&nbsp; Wish I had better luck finding these coins.&nbsp; Here are a few coins I picked up recently:</p><p><br /></p><p><b> Ostrogoths: Theoderic (493-518) AR Quarter-Siliqua, i.n.o Anastasius I, Ravenna (MEC-120; Metlich-44a) </b></p><p><br /></p><p>Obv: <i>D N ANASTASIVS P P AVC;</i> pearl-diademed and cuirassed bust right</p><p>Rev: <i>INVICTA ROMA; </i>monogram</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/36484/normal_MEC-120.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b> Ostrogoths: Theoderic (493-518) AR Half-siliqua, i.n.o Anastasius I, Ravenna (Metlich-43a; MIBE-V77; MEC-117) </b></p><p><br /></p><p>Obv: <i>D N ANASTASIVS P P AVC; </i>pearl-diademed and cuirassed bust right</p><p>Rev: Star within wreath</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/36484/normal_MEC-117.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
