<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pishpash, post: 2793422, member: 71514&quot;]I bid on a Savoca auction for a gold solidus but it had this picture attached, the coin was completely green.&nbsp; I won the auction for 4GBP, so from Friday night, I was the owner of a solidus until Sunday evening when I offered to cancel the sale, they wouldn&#039;t have sent me a solidus in any case.&nbsp; They cancelled the sale first thing Monday morning.&nbsp; I had bid on another lot a few days later, which I won and they sent me this coin along with the other lot.&nbsp; If I remember correctly, they charged me the original 4GBP!</p><p><br /></p><p>Totally green on receipt, a bit of cleaning showed it to be a silver ant.&nbsp; It would probably clean up more if ever I could be bothered to get around to it.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/coins/Valerian_I_20160053_.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/coins/Valerian_I_20160053__1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Valerian I (Augustus)</p><p>Coin: Silver Antoninianus </p><p>IMP C P LIC VALERIANVS PF AVG - radiate, draped bust right.</p><p>ORIENS AVGG - Sol standing left, holding whip and raising right hand.</p><p>Mint: Uncertain</p><p>Wt./Size/Axis: 2.47g / 19mm / -</p><p>References:</p><ul> <li>RIC V-1 106</li> <li>Sear 9950</li> <li>Cohen 140</li> </ul><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
