Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 10/06/2013 3:24 pm Florian? nice. But I doubt any of that will come off in a hurry. Thats a long haul cleaner...probably over a year in oil. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 10/06/2013 8:11 pm My first impression was Diocletion but I couldn't make out much of the legend to be sure. Report this Post to the Staff
pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 10/07/2013 06:51 am I will know more when I have it in hand. He knocked out a few coins considering he was only Emperor for 88 days. Report this Post to the Staff
Masis Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 946 Posts	Posted 10/07/2013 07:13 am Most of the obverse busts for the "FELICITAS AVG" type are lean, not so heavy set like this. The below example of a "CONCORD MILIT" type has that obverse style. http://wildwinds.com/coins/ric/florian/t.html So quite a good coin, I do not think there is really anything worth cleaning off. The reverse seems to have been struck using an worn Die. If you wanted to use a Wax, it would at least bring out the look of the obverse better. Report this Post to the Staff
