The "increase of $1 trillion" we are reading about is not the increase in the national debt over a decade, it is the increase more than it would...
Shaggy! [ATTACH] Constantine IV, 641-668 24-22 mm. Sear Byzantine 1207, "SCL" for a mint in Sicily (Syracuse).

There are quite a few CT members with excellent collections of FEL TEMP REPARATIO types. Some collect "soldier spearing fallen horseman" or "hut",...
I searched vcoins for ancient coins offered above $100,000 and found two, including the OP aureus. The other expensive coin is so ugly I'd bet...
If you are compelled to try to complete sets, you can decide to define "set" differently. We see collectors on this list with one from each mint...

Your coins says it is of Valens. Roman Silver Coins volume V is on late Roman silver and virtually complete, but nothing like it is in there--no...
Obviously it is a tough one. Congratulations on the completion. Now, on to the upgrades!

Jovian had only four AE reverse types. Here is my page on them: http://augustuscoins.com/ed/Jovian/Jovian.html The rarest, by far, is this AE4:...
I hope you put family, shelter, clothing, and food (and, electricity!) before coins. If you do and still have enough left to be able to enjoy...
