Your 'Trajan Decius' is Gallienus, joint reign with Valerian
On second examination, you're probably right - it probably is Decius. I gotta stop shooting from the hip without putting my glasses on first

For someone starting out, this seems like it would make a decent "armature or skeletal collection" which could form the nucleus of a new collection. It does seem like you got an excellent deal and a broad variety of pieces.

 

Do you intend to try any further cleaning on these?

 

Great quote, this is the heart of what this hobby is all about!

Do I understand that you paid 40 x 16 = 640 dollars ?
Excuse me.. But I wanted to make sure of the price. Thanks.

 

Looking back, I think he paid $16 for 40 of them.

 

No Sir. I paid a lot less. About $100 only for all of these coins. Roman coins aren't popular in Siberia. And they are rather cheap. For example: today I bought this coin of emperor Titus Flavius Vespasianus (69-79). Guess how much I paid? ONLY 9 DOLLARS!!!
