jjwabraham Valued Member United States 288 Posts	Posted 12/04/2015 10:50 pm Hard to take pictures in the 2 by 2. Looks to be in fairly high grade. I will remove if necessary for better ID. The opening in the 2 by 2 is for a US Quarter. Report this Post to the Staff

Biancasdad Pillar of the Community United States 1047 Posts	Posted 12/05/2015 12:49 am Hard to see with the glare but I am certain that this is Maximianus. Reverse type CONCORDIA MILITVM minted at Cyzicus The same or similar to this (there are endless varieties): http://www.coinproject.com/coin_det...p?coin=80139 Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7067 Posts	Posted 12/05/2015 12:51 am Hard to tell in the flip, but may be a follis of Maximianus, with a "Jupiter presenting Victory on a globe" reverse (CONCORDIA MILITVM). Edit: Biancasdad, you just beat me to it! Edited by Kamnaskires 12/05/2015 12:52 am Report this Post to the Staff

lrbguy Pillar of the Community United States 949 Posts	Posted 12/07/2015 5:21 pm The coin looks fine: I agree that it is of Maximian, but it is not a "follis" it is a "post-reform radiate" which at the time was tariffed at about a half follis if memory of RIC VI serves me.
