Extremely rare AE2 of Verina, wife of Leo I, 457-475 According to ERIC II, the 167th most common Roman person on coins. That's rare! 20 mm. Corroded. This is the only AE type for her, and a better example could cost a great deal more. AEL VERINA AVG SALVS REPVBLICAE, Victory seated right, inscribing chi-rho on shield. CONE in exergue RIC X, 656, "R3" (extremely rare) possibly minted at Constantinople as the mint mark says, but circulated only near Cherson, in the north Black Sea Crimean region. Not great condition, but a great price. As I write this, there is one, broken, corroded, and tooled on vcoins at $1450 and none on MA-Shops. As I wrote, it is really rare! Also, at #167 she would probably be the rarest Roman in your collection. [$85 + $4 in the US SOLD] To see other coins for sale, see here: http://augustuscoins.com/index.html with many Roman (several excellent recent Diocletian, Licinius, Magnentius, and Decentius) with prices recently reduced.
