Embarassing follis sold on Roma Numismatics

I have made several large wins at Roma... all great acquisitions, and was very happy with Roma.

I have been buying from Roma for some time, and find them easy an reliable to deal with - the only negative is that their auction fees keep going up.

 

I hear you, Sir. I grew up with a constant failure of an Austin Allegro from British Leyland. It ended its miserable life in 1984, falling apart after a 15 km/h slow motion crash into a parked car, and was condemned to the scrap heap of automobile history.
I feel that the least thing I can do, is to be a more frequent buyer at Roma auctions. At least those where opening bids are low enough to make it an exciting auction

 

I appreciate @Rich Beale answering all the questions so candidly. I would also appreciate it if he let me bid on all Probus coins exclusively so I can win some.

 

I was thinking the same except about other examples than Probus.

 

Very obvious from the outer rim cup compared to the fields. This one should have been discovered for what it is.
