Arcadius I Think

Thanks much echizento. For the past few years I have wanted to get an Arcadius but being a 'cheapskate' always passed on the ones I saw. Two in on shot .... not bad. I may end up listing them for sale so I don't want anyone to go to extremes to ID them. I just wanted some confirmation of what I suspected them to be. My inclination on the Byzantine was Justin but wanted to hear someone else say it too. Thanks again

hey guys, I'm thinking that first may be an honorius.

1 is Theodosius II
2 is Arcadius
3 is Val I
4 is Justin I

I missed it too, my eyes aren't as good as they ues to be.

Here's my Arcadius facing coin, from Nicomedia.

Are these full facing coins scarcer than the profile version?

I usually avoid the 'bargain' bags at the local coin shop but this facing bust did catch my eye. The tiny 9mm AE looked so comical that I figured I could bite at $2 each and sell off some of them to recoup the expense. Long ago I found myself trading away my small bronzes to pick up larger sized asses and sestertii. As I have lately overspent picking up the Caracalla and Elagabalus Sestertii I need to now balance my accounts by freeing some of these little fellows. Some of them will be going up tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks echizento.
