And here is the second mystery coin for tonight.
My only guess is that it is another Tetricus I or II, as the collection I purchased had quite a few of these and the bust does seem very familiar.
Any ideas?
Clueless in NYC...

Hi Kim!
This one is easy :-)
Tetricus I AD 273 – 274 AE Antoninianus “Laetitia”
Obverse: [IM]P C TETRICVS P F [AVG] - Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right.
Reverse: LAETITIA AVGG – Laetitia standing left holding wreath and anchor.
Gaul mint AD 273 – 274 = RIC Vii, p. 410, 87: Cohen 72.

Vladimir -
Easy for you maybe, I think you take your vast knowledge for granted.
I bought this particular collection not to become rich but to learn about ancient coins, especially the Roman variety, which are my favorite.
Most of my learning has come from you and your website, I hope you can use some of my photos as compensation.
Thanks again and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
