jcmworld Pillar of the Community United States 567 Posts	Posted 04/21/2013 10:37 am So I'm cleaning coins instead of writing a legal brief. Found these two. Julian II as Caesar (355-61), Antioch. Obv, DN IVLIANVS CAES, rev: SPES REI-PVBLICE, ANT in ex. Julian stg. holding globe and spear. Type of RIC VIII 194. RIC only lists ANA for the mintmark, this is ANT (clearer in hand.) Wildwinds didn't illustrate this type at all so I sent in this scan for them to use. Coin is listed as R1 for ANA. Honorius, Cyzicus. Star behind bust, rev: GLORIA ROMANORVM, SMKA in ex. Three emperors stanging (Arcadius, Honorius, Theodosius II). RIC X 149 I actually found three (!) of these types last night, one is better condition but it didnt scan well because my scanner stinks. Also plucked a Mamluke fractional dirhem out of this batch. Yay silver, I guess. It's only worth about 3 to 5 bucks. Happy hunting to all of you! Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 04/21/2013 1:28 pm Awesome Honorius! Always like the 3 emperors types but ti dfidnt really take off till the byzantines reared their ugly heads. Perhaps the mint mark is a gamma? Many a time have I mixed gammas with Ts.

jcmworld Pillar of the Community United States 567 Posts	Posted 05/22/2013 8:53 pm So, maybe this will clear things up. Maybe. I took this picture of the mintmark on the Julian above with my new microscope. (I love it so much I'm going to stock them for sale). Any guesses if that last letter is an A or a T?
