Are they always found without a mintmark? Yes - but unfortunately so are another 150ish variants from 3 different mints so finding them can be hard and confirming them can make your head spin. London used no mint marks for a number of years for example. The whole area is also not particularly well covered in RIC etc. |

I had hoped to put a link in here to the site Jamesicus has on the web so people could read more if they wanted to but when I visited last night to get the links all the pictures were missing and some of the pages wouldn't load.
The rest of his sites still seem active so not sure whats going on.

You might want to email or contact Jamesicus, if he doesn't know there are problems.

.......... it does look like where the surface isn't pitted ( darn bronze diesease - curse the Northern European climate!) most of the silvering remains.
I think I've just die matched it to one of Jamesicus's coins too .......... Nice catch, Bobby. I agree with you that coins of this series are harder to find than RIC indicates. It is a good die match with my coin which is fully silvered - almost mint state. The photograph displayed doesn't do it justice. Here is an enlargement of the obverse ..........
.......... of course, it cost me an arm and a leg! James |

James good to hear from you! Hope your well and happy New Year - I think I'll print out / download your entire site just in case. Your coin is a beauty - fantastic condition, well struck and well centred. I'm still diligently hunting these coins and adding them slowly but surely to my collection  Edited by bobbyhelmet

Thanks James - I had been trying to navigate back to a page I looked at a few months ago with descriptions of the coins and than a link to pictures but I cant seem to find it  It was called 'attribution page' I think, is it still 'up' or has it gone. |

It was called 'attribution page' I think, is it still 'up' or has it gone. Ah yes, bh, that was part of my Roman Coins of the London Mint web site. I took the site down because it was getting way out of date and too tedious for me to maintain. On reflection that search/attribution facility was pretty handy though -- there are numerous coins featured that are not listed on Wildwinds or other sites -- and so I have just re-installed it at: http://jp29.org/plnsearch.htmJames |

Arrived today and it does indeed have better silvering than the sellers pics would indicate. It also has a few areas of light green so I guess a long soak is needed just in case.  |
