<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 2615675, member: 31620&quot;]I collect Probus coins from Lugdunum. The busts with imperial mantle and eagle tipped sceptre are common from the majority of the mints for Probus and are listed on a large number of varieties at Lugdunum. These types do carry a huge premium though. You can get one from Cyzicus in EF for less than $50 but one from Lugdunum wull set you back well in excess of Eur 1,000 and often approaching 2,000. I doubt I will ever own one.</p><p><br /></p><p>I collect eastern denarii of Septimius Severus and a cuirassed bust here also carries a huge premium as do left facing busts. These can be anything from 10x to 20x the price. I don&#039;t have any of either.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think that the collecting pool for either of these series is massive but there are collectors with far deeper pockets than have a passing interest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
