COTD / Licinius II VLPP from Siscia with star on shoulder
« Last post by Victor on February 22, 2024, 12:56:59 PM »
I was pretty excited to see this coin yesterday. There is a star on the shoulder and I can't recall ever seeing another example. I love little touches like this that elevate an otherwise common coin.

 


Licinius II
A.D. 319-20
19mm   2.8g
LICINIVS IVN NOB C; laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right.
VICT • LAETAE PRINC PERP; two Victories stg., facing one another, together holding shield inscribed VOT PR on altar inscribed with the letter I.

Unlisted / Licinius II VOT V from Siscia
« Last post by Victor on February 21, 2024, 01:01:10 PM »
here is a neat coin from Siscia without a workshop. It is listed in RIC for Crispus and Constantine I; but not for Licinius II. Some familiar people used to own it--Ex. Keith Metzer (Arles) and ex Jeff Clark VOTA collection.

COTD / Maximianus HERCVLI CONSERVATORI from London
« Last post by Victor on February 11, 2024, 01:30:42 PM »
Here's a scarce type from London; unfortunately it is a little scruffy, but the reverse is nice. Though he is supposed to be retired, Maximianus is confirming his established authority. He is also openly opposing Galerius at this point.

 


Maximianus
A.D. 307
23x25mm 5.8g
D N MAXIMIANO P F S AVG; laureate and cuirassed bust.
HERCVLI CONSERVATORI; Hercules standing facing, head left, right leaning on club, left holding bow, lion's skin over left shoulder.
In ex. PLN
RIC VI London 91



I also added this Constantine

 


Constantine I
Circa 310-12
21x23mm 4.3g
CONSTANTINVS P AVG; Laureate and cuirassed bust right.
COMITI AVGG NN; Sol standing left, chlamys falling from left shoulder, r. holding globe & whip in left; ✶ in right field

General Discussion / stripe account suspended

Stripe is the company I use to process credit card payments. Recently I got an unusual message from them.


"We are contacting you to request some information as part of a standard review of your account. As a payments processor, we are obligated to collect certain information on our users.

Please be aware that transfers on your account have been disabled until we are able to complete this review.

As per Stripe's Restricted Businesses List

I asked them which coins I had listed from Syria...their response--

Attaching a link to the Syrian coins that are on the website: https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/ma...12280_bc_mint_ai_khanoum/1693522/Default.aspx


 




I immediately responded "That is not my store. Vcoins is an online mall of dozens of individual dealers. My store is "Victor's Imperial Coins" as my name is Victor

 



I then said "Could you please enable transfers for my account?"

the response--


"Thank you for your patience and many thanks for the clarification. I was able to complete the review on our end and have updated the account. Payouts are now enabled!

Please don't hesitate to reply if I can be of further assistance."



It's always something when you sell coins; but this one was pretty funny.
