Vfox Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 There is still a tiny bit of lustre around the devices and in the field behind the head, which is amazing for a 205 year old coin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 I have several coins that cost me more than this one did originally, but this is still my favourite I have owned it since 1993. It had just come in a penny board into a coin shop that I was visiting on a Saturday morning. There was a nearly complete set of cents from 1793-1857 in the board, only the 1799 and a couple of others were missing. Most of the dates after 1820 were uncs. I knew I could not buy the whole board, but I had to have something and this was it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End A.D. 277 to Early A.D. 278 Ref:– Cohen 69. Bastien 256 (2 examples cited). RIC 64 Bust Type G. Minted to commemorate the return of the Emperor through Lugdunum on his way to Rome after a successful campaign against the German tribes. A crisp example with full silvering. The shield is decorated with the emperor on horseback riding past his troops with a raised hand. Regards, Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corkykile Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 This is one I found in a bucket of coins that were $8.50 per pound. Whether it is the damage to the poor thing, the age, the design, or whatever, it seems to be one of my favorites. Corky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
