Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 12/29/2011 4:08 pm To me it looks like a Victorinus, possibly RIC V-2 114 Victorinus AE Antoninianus. IMP C VICTORINVS PF AVG, radiate, draped, cuirassed bust right / INV-I-CTVS, Sol walking left, holding whip, right hand raised, star in left field. Cologne Report this Post to the Staff
rolhalo Valued Member United States 88 Posts	Posted 12/29/2011 4:32 pm Thanks alot! I looked it up and it looks like a match. I'm just getting into ancients and have lots to learn. Only paid a buck for this one. Any idea of a date? Report this Post to the Staff
Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 12/29/2011 4:36 pm It was struck 268-270 AD. Any coin for a dollar is well worth it. Welcome to the realm of Ancients. Yes, you will have a lot to learn, but stick around on this site and you will learn something new daily. There are those on this forum who seem to know their stuff and are willing to share their knowledge. Report this Post to the Staff

dougsmit Pillar of the Community United States 1549 Posts	Posted 12/29/2011 8:17 pm The full obverse legend is there. This might be a coin to soak in distilled water for a while and rub with bare fingers. I don't encourage harsher cleaning but this one has details under the deposits. Well worth the dollar...
