    Lucius Verus, AE18-19, 3.9 grams. Augusta Traiana, Thrace. 161–169 AD.

    Wasn't sure if I should put this here or in World/Ancient Coins. But it's "What's it Worth" question, so...

    The only other example I have been able to find for this coin is a specimen listed in the new "Roman Provincial Coinage Online," acquired by the Staatliche Museen, Berlin, between 1900 and 1928. Could be other examples I don't know how to find, but I'm usually not bad doing that.

    If there are only a few in the market, maybe the question boils down to, "How much does a 19mm bronze Roman Provincial top out at?" My guess, $300-$1,000. But maybe $50-$5,000...?? Anyone have any thoughts or know any other published/auction examples?
