<p>[QUOTE="Gallienus, post: 3526049, member: 42034"]Actually that's not unexpected pricewise. I recall one of the multiples selling for around 44K some years ago. I think there was also a triple As of this series as well. The multiples are extremely rare. Vecchi & Thurlow may list 12 of the doubles (dupondii) and 4 of the triples and maybe a unique sestersius? Of the regular Wheel types As, there were 44 known and 1200 of the Janus Head/ Galley Prow type. Bear in mind this was 1983 so undoubtedly more have been found with the advent of more sophisticated metal detectors. We don't have to worry about ocean salvage tho.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you ever do a Roman coin presentation to kids, you Must have one of these. The below photo was from 2018.
