<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1591859, member: 26302&quot;]Great answer Mat. Yes, it was known the Antony&#039;s were debased, so they were spent. It was not until Nero that the Antony coins were deemed good enough silver to hoard themselves. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, Antony was seen as a soldier&#039;s hero. As such, many soldiers carried Antony coins with them for their career. There have been finds of a single Antony coin in a battlefield 300 years after it was minted, so it is believed they were passed along in the family to soldiers for good luck. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, for many reasons, Antony galley coins are found well worn usually. They are available in high grade though. Check out Berk&#039;s NYINC auction coming up. He is selling a large Imperatorial collection, with about 12 of these in very high grade. There is an Eide Mar for sale too. Now, just to convince my wife that we need to sell our house so Chris can buy one coin...........[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
