JW: Here are two old obverse and reverse (not so great) photos that I found of your coin: Maximian Herculius (Maximianus) AE Follis. Lugdunum mint, ca 296 AD. No mintmark. RIC VI, Lugdunum, 14b. (Constantius "Invasion Coinage"). IMP C MAXIMIANVS PF AVG, laureate bust right with bare neck truncation GENIO POPV-LI ROMANI, Genius standing left, holding patera in extended right hand & cradling cornucopiae in left arm. Feel free to download and save them if you wish. The reverse is "scuzzy", but there is a good bit of silver wash visible on the obverse and coins of this series are very hard to come by (just ask bobbyhelmet).

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 07/20/2012 10:11 pm That's interesting--it almost looks like there's (silver) crystallization happening to this coin, but that would suggest it has higher silver content than just a "wash"? Report this Post to the Staff
