A house or half a house, depending on where you live, for that coin!

Hi Jamesicus! Haven't seen you around lately. Good to see you posting again, and nice Allectus .

 

I have yet to add an Allectus. When I do I'm sure it will an antoninianus.

 

Thank you TIF.

 

Several houses here too, at least two

Fantastic coin, but @jamesicus' isn't bad either and much more in my league !

Q

 

Thanks Q. I think all Allectus coins are considered somewhat scarce. I have owned my coin for a number of years and I don’t remember how much I paid for it - probably a couple of hundred dollars or so.
