Coin attributed and entered into Wildwinds

[expat]

I asked Dane at Wildwinds for some help with this coin. She is extremely knowledgeble and very helpful. There are a number of this style of coin but there were no item or description on the site with these particular monograms. After attributing it she asked if it could be added to the page. This is probably nothing special to most of you, but to me, having my coin there, gives me a feeling of satisfaction that others who may have another example of it, now have an attribution to go with it.

Feel free to post any coins of yours that were previously missing from a respected site or publication.

I found that the Antoninus Pius was the « plate coin » on wildwinds after I bought it, the Honorius was submitted by myself after I discovered it was rated R5.

I had the pleasure to discuss with Dane from Wildwinds and published my Istros fraction (very rare variety)

I have a number of Tarentine rarities that are not listed on Wildwinds. I have twice invited Dane to raid my gallery for anything she needs, as well as numerous corrections, but have never gotten a response. Oh well.
