<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3926469, member: 19463&quot;]Yes and there are a hundred ugly ones for every coin most collectors want for their collection.&nbsp; Beginners often think that a coin that is over 1500 years old has to look like garbage and belongs in a museum as a great rarity.&nbsp; Theodosius may be right about the $5 part but very few people who have any interest in ancient coins would buy a coin that far gone for any price.&nbsp; They tend to show up to be sold to people who do not know that you can get a decent one for very little more.&nbsp; This one can not be IDed with certainty due to condition (I believe it is Maximianus ending PFAVG an see the mintmark as KE).&nbsp; RIC lists officina E for the two Augusti and not for the Caesars.&nbsp; I generally would not be so bold as to disagree with Barry but he admitted to what I consider a serious handicap (using a phone for something other than making calls) so I&#039;ll go AVG anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do not have a KE but have one from officina four (delta).</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1034990[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>However if the reading of the mint city as K is wrong , Heraclea (H) allows E for the Caesars so we are back to not knowing whether it is CAES or AVG.&nbsp; Again I don&#039;t have an HE so I&#039;ll show an HA (officina one).</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1034991[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
