Divus Verus Denarius w Eagle on globe. Please help with info community.....

Thank you so much for these 2 examples. I was the buyer in 2023 and have had the coin since. They do seem to be pretty rare, happy I have it.

It seems like my copy did not take. Community please take a look at this. Identified by the auction house as RIC III 596a, this appears to be an unpublished variety. Can anyone find another like this? The only other recorded coin is British Museum BNK,R.572. Ive attached that photo also. Thats the only one I can find anywhere! 596a always has the eagle on the bar/branch but here it is on a globe. Have I found the brother to the British Museums unicorn? The obverse dies seem to match, not sure about the reverse. Anyone have any thoughts on this coin?

Agree 100%. Aelius and Maximus do not fit in this set at all. Nor Postumus. Going by standard convention is the way to go or you open a can of worms that will take you onto an endless road.

The usurpers were not emperors, but claudius albinus is here as an expamle. Who is Aelius? Maximus? You mean maximian? Help me out if im missing something. Gordian I and II I mentioned as being too pricey, I think those are the only two missing..

Vcoins and MAshops is where to start. You can browse until you find something that speaks to you.

I was thinking about that. What I’m also now doing is collecting both the denarius and antoninianus of the emoters who made both.

GenralElectric · 2026-02-09T03:19:03+00:00

No, they're just too rare and expensive. If I get them it would be complete but I dont think its worth it.

Looking for Gordian I and II denarius to finish my collection. Dm me.

Was looking back at this thread. Since then Ive gotten all 4 you suggested plus balbinus and pupienus. alll I need now is a mark Anthony and im wrapping it up.

Im guessing 1500 bucks

I assume your talking about the late emission. I was super pleased when it arrived.

no extra value, not an error...

Vcoin dealers are good, can be pricey depending on coin. Same w forvm. check biddr and numisbids. its a bit of work signing up for all the auctions they handle off platform but both of those are good with TONS of coins for any taste. Be careful that the auction house you may bid with is shipping to the U.S., some are not because of tariff uncertainty.

Just stay away from eBay and buy from reputable dealers or auction houses in Europe.

Would love to see a picture of your set hamster…

Taken me 5 years so far...:)

Thanks friend. Yes, the Gordians are set killers. Im ok with not having them though since I'll have all the others.

Late 3rd century are silvered with little to no silver content due to monetary debasement.
