Here is another FTR Galley addition to my collection. I seem to have developed a soft spot for these Rome mint Galleys. I will share my newest...
I am just getting round to processing my latest purchases. Amongst them are a couple FTR Galley coins. They are sufficiently different that I will...
Not Probus. Looks like Antioch mint Numerian.
Great find......
Those are some interesting questions. The huge number of bust varieties for Probus is bewildering. G/< has a great page on the bust varieties:-...
