echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 10/03/2012 09:27 am Added a few new coins this week to my collection. Maximian IMP CM A MAXIMIANVS AVG CONCORDIA MILITVM A in center field XXI dot RIC II, CYZICUS 607 This is the only reference I found for this coin, however the center field mark looks like a cresent over A. I am not sure if this is an unlisted coin or the mark is just an A. Report this Post to the Staff

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 10/03/2012 09:43 am According to Helvetic's, there is RIC VI 62b which has the crescent over A struck at Antioch. However, I can't find this same center mark with the mintmark of your coin. Perhaps it is unlisted. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 10/03/2012 2:02 pm I also saw that for the Antioch mint. So do you agree that it is a cresent and not just the letter A? Report this Post to the Staff
Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 10/03/2012 2:10 pm I am curious what is the obverse picture supposed to depict. I know it has two figures. Are they gods, generals, Caesars? Is that Nike in the middle? what years was it struck whats its size. Curious..curious..curious. There is a lot more on this coin then just the legend. Nice coin, as always echizento. Report this Post to the Staff

bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 10/03/2012 4:17 pm Personally I think its just 'A'. But if it is it doesn't match any of the other 'A's on the coin! I don't think these coins are particularly well covered in RIC and this shows through to Helveticas tables. I've had trouble in the past with these as have other people, remember this thread? https://goccf.com/t/99550&whichpage=1 By the end of it I think I was more confused than when we started!

maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2100 Posts	Posted 10/03/2012 4:27 pm I also think it is just a A with strong serif's on the top. Martin Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 10/03/2012 5:39 pm Unless something turns up I'm going with it just being an A. Thanks for all your input. Report this Post to the Staff
