I am currently on the verge of getting a nice Constantius II Siliqua , but when this nice Philip I Antoninianus popped up I had to get it. Embarrassingly enough ( show me some mercy ) this is my first Philip I coin  I love the reverse legend "ROMAE AETERNAE"To top it off a good friend bought this nice Constantius II AE for me.  Constantius II AE2 348-251 CE 5.8 Grams  Philip I ( the Arab) AR Antoninianus 3.67 Grams |

Don't worry T.C., I think I will get him a crate of beer for his B-Day.  I swear Constantius II has the greatest hair of all time.  |

It's not a bad coin at all. The obverse has nice detail, the letters on the reverse are a little weak but the reverse design is very nice.

I am very happy with both coins. The more I look at that obverse ( and hair) I think you may have a point Pish with the two crates  Thanks guys and girls. Edited by Augustus Maximus

The Philip I Antoninianius showed up today. It's very shiny and feels very thin . Its only 3.67 grams so I suppose that's why.
