<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1260626, member: 19463"]While it is good to dream the silver RSR and three jugate portraits are not likely to join my collection due to the price and the fact that both are easily recognized as special. Any Carausius is expensive enough if you want a good looking coin. There are two things I suggest you look for if buying one of the cheap ones. The same desire to be part of the mainstream Roman power trio also caused some reverse legends to end AVGGG suggesting that there were three rulers (the three portraits). These add interest to me but do not always sell for more. Rare and expensive when recognized are coins for the real emperors (Diocletian and Maximianus) issued by Carausius with the AVGGG reverse legend. Coins with Diocletian's name can be cheap so I'd love to find one being sold as just an ordinary issue.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]136431.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
