<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3250866, member: 19463"]I would value the lot at about 10 times what you paid and that is allowing zero for the three bottom coins. The Commodus is not all that bad for these. It is always a good idea to keep an eye on billon to guard against bronze disease but I don't see anything worrisome here ---- yet. We should all look at our coins every so often and be aware of changes we see. I don't think it is unreasonable to ask looking or enjoying but save worry for when there is some sign of change. There are too many Commodus tets for me to want them all but this one with a reverse legend is not a bad one at all. I hope you will enjoy it for many years to come. Commodus is a bit unusual in that he was around long enough to have coins dated year 30. Who has a higher regnal date to show here? The best I can do is also year 30 but none of mine have legends naming the reverse. Yours is a nice coin and a steal at the price.
