    So my latest buy is a Trajan denarius that I really didnt need, but it popped up on ebay and at a price of only $12 shipped. It didnt have great pics & I thought it was an error listing, but the sellers other coins of lesser quality were cheap. So I bought it anyways & was impressed when it arrived. For now, I am keeping it.

    12 bucks? :eek:

    I gotta check eBay more often since they're giving denarii away.

    Nice denarius Mat! I can't believe the price, what a score. That's why it's smart to scan eBay from time to time. There is still the occasional deal to be had if you look hard enough. Well done.
