paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 11/27/2023 9:13 pm Lovely example - quite a bit better than my own, and again, an excellent upgrade for a more difficult emperor. I like the VNDIQUE VICTORES reverse, though, on the first coin, it's quite a bit scarcer, although the sentiment expressed by that legend may have been a bit premature, or perhaps wishful thinking...

MartiVltori Pillar of the Community United States 870 Posts	Posted 11/27/2023 10:03 pm Yep the old one is defiantly a scarcer issue but I'm going for grade here. Report this Post to the Staff
maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2099 Posts	Posted 11/28/2023 03:55 am A very nice upgrade with a good strong portrait. I have a strong leaning towards the Lugdunum mint and added one Numerian to my pile this year. It is a scarcer type for this emperor and the grade is acceptable too thought I must admit that grade is not my primary driver in collecting. Numerian Antoninianus Obv:- IMP C NVMERIANVS AVG, Radiate, cuirassed bust right Rev:- VIRTVS AVGG, Virtus standing left holding Vicotry, who is holding a wreath and palm and inverted spear Mint - Lugdunum (C \| _) Emission 9 Officina 3.
