bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 01/21/2011 1:32 pm I think it might be Probus but not sure, its certainly from about that time looking at the style (late 3rd C). I cant find any matches of a Probus with the mintmark 'TSDelta' or what I thought it was 'S.Delta' but I've not spent too long looking!

Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 01/21/2011 9:25 pm TS[delta] it is. The TS-for-Thessalonica mintmark wasn't used until after Probus' time. This coin is of Crispus, PRINCIPIA IVVENTVTIS type. I found this Wildwinds match just by typing into the partial inscription search the only four letters I could read: "PR TS". I had to scroll through quite a lot of coins to find it. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C.

Thomcollects Valued Member United States 240 Posts	Posted 01/22/2011 11:00 am Thanks again everyone! I will be listing more. Sap, if you can help me with the inscriptions, I can look them up on Wildwinds. I don't want you to spend too much time with these. Plus, I like scrolling through Wildwinds too! I just have so much trouble identifying the characters, I sometimes don't know where to start. Report this Post to the Staff
