I`m pretty sure he has a beard, so I wouldn`t mind snagging this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-3-rare-...em1e8c270c75 Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 05/31/2014 5:45 pm With this one, I doubt it, just judging by the design style of Victory, which looks earlier. All ill say is, without a legend, it cant be assigned a name. Even the reeally late ones wihch are clearly after Johannes are worthless without the legend. Report this Post to the Staff
VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 06/01/2014 02:18 am I agree, it doesn't really look like its him. From the style it looks more like an earlier emperor such as Arcadius or Theodosius. But even if coins don't have a name left, if they have a type unique to them, or a unique combination of field marks/legend/mintmark, etc., there is still a possibility they can be id'd positively. I hate to show off, but I was in a similar situation as you a few months ago. Found myself a small lot of coins, nothing really looked to special. But then I saw what looked to be a Johannes in the mix. I took a chance and sur enough, it was him, my second-ever Johannes. After evenly dividing the final price, I ended up paying $5 for it. The rest of the lot wasn't bad either. Just goes to show that gems can still be found Report this Post to the Staff
