Fausta from Nicomedia
« on: February 04, 2017, 07:41:28 PM »
Hey all,

I won the bid today for this Fausta coin on ebay for about $43.  I only have one other Fausta coin. I don't know much about her coins but I liked this one.  I could be wrong but I couldn't find it in RIC.  It's a RIC VII 130 SALVS of Nicomedia but with MNB.  I'll have to pay shipping too but I'm bidding on a few other coins from the seller, Savoca, who combines shipping cost so I'll wait to pay for it.  The coin is 2.97g 18mm.  It may be rare, I couldn't find it on Wildwinds, CNG, acsearch.  I hope I wasn't bidding against you Victor :).

Yes, you are right, it is an unlisted workshop- RIC only lists A and E.

Congratulations, I didn't even notice this coin today or probably would have bid on it also; but I am glad it is going to a good home.
