tenbobbit Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 701 Posts	Posted 06/15/2015 07:16 am Hi chrsmat, Not many collectors of these provincial types from what I have seen on here so far, I like them though. My very 1st ancient purchase is the Diocletian with the scales, its now my " pocket " coin. Sorry about the poor pics, I took them last night when half asleep 1st 3 are Diocletian tets and coin 4 is a probus tet. Report this Post to the Staff
Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 06/15/2015 09:47 am There is something quite appealing about Alexandria tets. They are generally ratty and the dies poorly engraved, but like all aspects of ancient coins, there are exceptions. This is an interesting series of coinage for sure. Report this Post to the Staff
