Cointosser77 Valued Member United Kingdom 195 Posts	Posted 05/19/2013 12:06 pm I have here what appears a Macrinus Silver coin, I don't know the denomination nor much else. It is about 1.8 cm is diameter. Any info on it's value, scarcity etc greatly appreciated. Unfortunately my flatbed scanner doesn't deal with depth very well but should be all readable in scan: Report this Post to the Staff

His later coins have longer beards. It is a bit of a shame about the somewhat scratched surfaces from the cleaning process but it is still a nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Cointosser77 Valued Member United Kingdom 195 Posts	Posted 05/26/2013 5:28 pm Many thanks guys! If anyone's interested I listed this here now as Roman coins aren't really my thing, I got this together at an antiques auction with some other coins I was after. Btw, what does AR stand for? * Edited by Staff - Please Review the rules that you agreed to when you registered. * Report this Post to the Staff
