[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 1922141, member: 31620"]Steve, I did consider trying to achieve a reverse type set for this mint but that is looking unlikely as there are reverse types that would be commong for other mints that are rare for Lugdunum and achieve $1,000++ price tags when they appear on the market. The same could be said for a bust type set where there are some very unusual busts produced at this mint that hold a very high premium and some busts that would also be considered common for other mints are prohibitively expensive. I will simply carry on chipping away and buying what I can afford when it comes on the market. There is quite a bit of competition for Probus coins with some of the collectors having far deeper pockets that I, which means that I will just have to be satisifed with my small victories now and again. With my OP it was the last coin of the six posted that was my most recent win. On the face of it it would appear to be a common enough coin with a common bust and common reverse type but it has still taken me over 15 years to track one down. Regards, Martin[/QUOTE]
