I paid $38 in 2011 to a well known dealer.

Thank you Bing, this was a steal I see now on CNG- one is selling for $350 and bidding continues...

 

I'll have to check it out, but it must be a different example.

 

The coin on CNG has much better detail. Is it worth 10x what I paid? I don't think so.

@dlhill132, you need to upgrade that Tetricus II... then you'll have an amazingly sweet series! I love the Victorinus from @zumbly and @John Anthony.

My series, sweet enough for me (except maybe the Marius, I want one like @stevex6's!):

Postumus (double-sest., VIRTVS AVG, Emperor or Virtus standing right with spear & shield):


Marius (ant., SAEC FELICITAS, Felicitas standing left, holding caduceus in r. hand and cornucopiae in l.):


Victorinus (ant., INV-I-CTVS, Sol standing left, holding whip and extending right hand, * in left field):


Tetricus I (ant., SALVS AVGG, Salus standing left, holding rudder, feeding from patera a snake rising from altar to left.):


Tetricus II (PIETAS AVGVSTOR, pontifical implements: sprinkler, simpulum, plain jug with handle right and lituus.):

 

Silvanus and Postumus were left is Gaul with Gallienus's son Saloninus. Silvanus, in Saloninus's name ordered Postumus to hand over some booty that Postumus's troops had seized. This ended with Saloninus and Silvanus to be besieged in Cologne and eventually handed over to Postumus's men who killed the pair. Then, Wauulaaa! The Gallic empire was born.

Here is a Saloninus / Priestly implements. AR'ish



Postumus / Peacefull Heracules, AR

 

I only have one, a Postumus with Asclepius on the reverse

 

Oooow, Saloninus ... apparently I'm allowed to toss this lil' guy into the mix, eh?

... pool lil' fella

 

Terrific posts everyone!!

I'll throw in a coin of Aureolus and Marius---both purchased from FORVM if I recall correctly:

 

Here is the most recent sale - HEFTY:

 

Hi Mikey, if you dont mind me asking - how much was your Aureolus?

 

My two were $35 and $33. I saw one at a show for $750. That is pretty much the range. Most of these are small flan and part legend. For big money you should get boardwalk margins and super full strike. Few of these have that.

 

Awesome coin Steve! I wonder why it has such a small portrait.

 

Thank you
