<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 2884710, member: 31620&quot;]I try not to buy random Probus coins. I did that few years and ended up with far too many of them and never enough money left for other coins. I now try and be a little more choosy with my purchases. This means that my Probus collection has slowed dramatically. When buying a Max. Herc. follis recently kept seeing a pretty Probus out of the corner of my eye and after attempting to igonre it for a while I gave in and bought it too.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is in nice condition, has a pleasing portrait, nice and heavy, and still has lots of silvering.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Probus </b></p><p>Obv:–IMP C PROBVS AVG, Radiate, cuirassed bust right</p><p>Rev:– SECVRIT PERP, Securitas standing left, legs crossed, leaning on column, right hand raised to head</p><p>Minted in Ticinum (Cursive Digamma XXI). 6th emission, second phase (with XXI), A.D. 279</p><p>Reference:– RIC 573 Bust type F (C).</p><p><br /></p><p>4.98 gms, 23.65 mm. 180 degrees. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_132xz_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
