Hey everyone. I just won this coin from an ebay auction. Link below:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Aracadius-3...047675.l2557
I had a few questions. Is it genuine? And is the information about the coin in this listing correct? How's the condition? The seller seems legit, and so did the coin, and I just wanted a consensus from the experts here. Thanks!

Arcadius from the Antioch mint. This is a nice example with some of the sand patina left on the coin. Coins from this mint are a bit more desirable than most other mints. I would grade it at aVF. (about very fine).

Very nice. Coins that size/quality of the later emperors aren't that easy to find.

Pretty good for $12. Are you just starting out collecting ancients? Definitely the kind of coin that beginners should shoot for IMO.

Hotlinking images from Wildwinds does not work (blocked to avoid too much traffic for Wildwinds) - but I assume you refer to RIC#63e.
The description is right but the image seems to be a coin with rosette diadem. Yours is definitely a pearl diadem.
