[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 421495, member: 6370"]I do not like repatination, if its been cleaned to the metal I want to see metal...but in Ancients its very common practice and many coins will be repatinated...to me they seldom look much better if at all...mostly just dark. this coin was cleaned to the metal: [IMG]http://www.cachecoins.org/gallienus2.jpg[/IMG] and it looks great...most wont look so good but I would still rather have some pits in the metal than pitted DARKENED metal...pitting is pitting...making it dark wont get rid of the pitting, just makes it harder to see...as well as the detail. Probus coins arent the most common and in fact there are dedicated collectors of Probus that often drive the price for his coins quite high so to be honest, to get a decent quality Probus might be harder than you think...I think on Forum Ancient Coins there is a dedicated thread just for Probus coins for sale on ebay...tracking them and the prices they go for.[/QUOTE]
