<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1774061, member: 19463"]One reason I never went full on into Probus was the realization that he had so many rare types and ones that always sold at prices way out of my league. Even without getting into the gold he has a number of special coins that would be hard to find as sleepers in junk boxes. Perhaps the splashy example is the obverse with horse head:</p><p><a href="http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=563655" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=563655" rel="nofollow">http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=563655</a></p><p> </p><p>Without doing any research on the question, I wonder if a complete set of Probus including all the obverse and reverse variations from all the mints would add up to more coins than any other emperor. I know he does not have the highest count of RIC numbers but volume V lumped so many very different coins under one number that a count is difficult.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
