dougsmit Pillar of the Community United States 1549 Posts	Posted 02/23/2013 8:40 pm The coin has almost no legend yet it retains on the reverse EQVIT which is characteristic of Aureolus coins. Still they are in the name of Postumus so I am not terribly impressed by dealers who promote them as high value rarities as opposed to another branch mint curiosity. Most are short on legend but this one is shorter than many. At very very cheap, this was a good deal. Report this Post to the Staff
