Benefactor LONGINUS Posted January 2, 2023 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) Happy New Year, folks! I have a new poster layout and three additions (Trajan, Philip I, and Philip II ) to my modest Seleucis and Pieria collection that I’d like to share. The third of the group arrived on New Year’s Eve, making it the last coin of 2022. Edited January 2, 2023 by LONGINUS 18 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsyas Mike Posted January 2, 2023 · Member Share Posted January 2, 2023 A truly splendid group of coins, and splendid displays as well, @LONGINUS. I have very few coins from this area, but as it so happens one of my last purchases for 2022 is similar to your Trajan/Tyche bust - mine has different lettering/monogram in the reverse field: Trajan Æ 26 Year ΒΞΡ (162) (114-115 A.D.)

ambr0zie Posted January 2, 2023 · Member Share Posted January 2, 2023 As usually, great coins and great pictures. I want to buy a personalized mouse pad and I intend to create a group shot of some of my coins ... but I am tempted to use one of your pics if it's OK with you, @LONGINUS (note - strictly for personal use) Here is one of my latest coins of 2022, also from Antioch. Not great, not terrible, not that cheap to be considered a true bargain, but I considered it's a pleasant coin and since that auction was my Christmas present (to myself), I said why not. Seleucis and Pieria. Antioch. Otacilia Severa AD 244-249. Billon-Tetradrachm. 27 mm, 12,62 g AD 247. ΜΑΡ ΩΤΑΚΙΛ ϹƐΟΥΗΡΑΝ ϹƐΒ, diademed and draped bust of Otacilia Severa, r., crescent at shoulders / ΔΗΜΑΡΧ ƐΞΟΥϹΙΑϹ ΥΠΑ ΤΟ Γ, ΑΝΤΙΟΧΙΑ, S C, eagle standing r., spreading wings, holding wreath in beak. RPC VIII, — (unassigned; ID 28993); Prieur 383; McAlee 1095–6, 1100A and 1101 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaniard Posted January 2, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted January 2, 2023 @LONGINUS Wonderfully displayed selection of coins as always! My favourite is that super proud looking portrait of Nerva WOW! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Di Nomos Posted January 2, 2023 · Member Share Posted January 2, 2023 Great coins and presentation. I'm always envious of how you display your coins. I think my favourite is the Trajan bronze. I like the portraits and patina. The orange gives it a nice 'earthen' look if that makes sense. All the best for a successful 2023. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
