NumisMattic2200 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 A couple of Gordian III's I picked up nice and cheap (eBay steals) - though I'm of the belief that these must be quite common? The grades look fantastic, anyone wanna let me down? Then there's an old guy, this one must be much rarer and I picked it up at an auction - I am finding the legends very hard, especially the old guy as it's so low relief.

Mark Stilson Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Not a expert, but maybe Trajan Decius? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NumisMattic2200 Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 These are also Antoniniani because of the radiate crowns.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Found a few close to the trajan but no cigar on the reverse. You might double check me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NumisMattic2200 Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 All I know of the reverse on this one, "GENIUS EXERC. ILLYRICIANI"and it's the emperor standing. On that basis this leads us to RIC 38??? a, b, ?? ....except it isn't those, because I can see something lurking at right. Could be this one. RIC 16 http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sear5/s9374.html#RIC_0016c (Now I realise there are yet more of them quite similar to sort through!...doh! amateur LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
