Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 05/28/2017 12:08 pm This Orbiana CONCORDIA AVGVSTORVM As sold on ebay yesterday for $59. I watched the coin and put in a bid, but, in the end, decided not to pursue it because I wasn't sure if it was authentic or not and the condition wasn't the best, even if Orbiana is a rare empress. While it looks like it has old encrustations, including some red areas, the lettering looked a bit soft to me when I compared it to authentic specimens on VCoins. What do people think? Real or not? Thanks for sharing your opinions. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

lrbguy Pillar of the Community United States 949 Posts	Posted 05/29/2017 1:06 pm Not a provincial, Ron. This is an Imperial As. Note the S C in the reverse exergue. Paul, it's a dead ringer for RIC 656 pictured in Plate 8, no 11. You could have gone for double the final price and made money on the resale. I wish I had seen it. Report this Post to the Staff
