Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 02/06/2012 11:47 am RIC IX Antioch 68E Honorius AE2. D N HONORIVS P F AVG, pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right / GLORIA ROMANORVM, emperor standing, head right, holding labarum & globe, ANT_ in ex. RIC IX Antioch 68e. 3.9g, 23.25mm This is the first of a few coins that I purchased from JW. This coin is about the largest I've seen in the late Roman era. It also looks like it's closer to pure copper than many others. Report this Post to the Staff

dougsmit Pillar of the Community United States 1549 Posts	Posted 02/06/2012 2:13 pm I believe you were correct that this is closer to pure copper. I don't think theye were adding any of that nasty silver to the mix by this time and thee alloy coins corroded less attractively. Report this Post to the Staff
