[QUOTE="zumbly, post: 2940249, member: 57495"]The $3.50 a piece snack bag of LRBs I'm currently working on has a fair few that aren't worth anything beyond the time I'll spend squinting at their mintmarks and legend breaks, but so far I've found a couple of interesting ones... I'm almost embarrassed to show yet another Licinius Jupiter-standing follis - if they're not roaches, they're at least some other unwelcome insect of early 4th century coinage - but apart from being quite nice, this one is a rather rare Rome mint example. [ATTACH=full]715925[/ATTACH] A Maxentius Roma-in-Temple with some silvering and a 180-degree rotated doublestrike on the reverse that neatly duplicated the CONSERV part of the legend from the left side onto the right as well. [ATTACH=full]715926[/ATTACH] Another Licinius (the last one for awhile at least, I promise!)... a scarce 'plain' Vota type from Arles with no wreath around the vows. [ATTACH=full]715924[/ATTACH] The last Licinius complements another snack that I purchased earlier in the year, from Warren's coin store - a Crispus from the same Arles 'plain' Vota issue.
