ancientcoinguy Pillar of the Community United States 842 Posts	Posted 01/25/2014 01:27 am Hey guys I am bidding on a coin that I can not identify, but I know I want. I was looking at monograms on ancientcoinmuseum.com but could not find any that looked like they match. I tried flipping the image upside-down but that didn't help much All I know is that I think I can see a triangular shape around the 10 o'clock area on the obverse (an A?) and VS AV towards the very end of the legend. The only monogram coins that have a legend that would match up are of Libius Severus and I think Basillicus. But no monograms of them are even close! Can anyone identify this one?

VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 01/25/2014 03:20 am I've looked at tons of monograms (this is one of my collecting areas) but never seen anything like this one before and my search hasn't turned up any related. Perhaps a mistruck monogram? The bust looks a bit Byzantine to me. Edited by VisigothKing 01/25/2014 03:22 am Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 01/25/2014 12:46 pm Take a look at Baduila... http://www.ancientcoinmuseum.com/Hi...NOGRAMS.html Also, take not of the Eraric monogram (no extant coins), because I spotted one on ebay...but it went for a couple of hundred dollars, and I couldnt justify it for something that could be fake.

VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 01/25/2014 1:36 pm I don't think its Baduila. If you flip the reverse, you'll see better a vertical line with a circle at the top. None of Baduila's monograms has that. Report this Post to the Staff

ancientcoinguy Pillar of the Community United States 842 Posts	Posted 01/26/2014 01:21 am Well as it turns out my bid ended up being far short of the mark on this one. The price skyrocketed an additional $40 in the last minute! Oh well. Report this Post to the Staff
