[QUOTE="Finn235, post: 6431915, member: 98035"]This will be a random and sporadically updated thread- so apologies in advance! But, in the past few months I have bought up quite a few large lots of coins, ranging from $2 per coin to nearly $50 per coin. Obviously most lots will have plenty of ugly/cull coins, but I felt the need to start a thread for the keepers and cream of the crop as I work through imaging them. Apologies in advance for the lack of verbose write-ups; short on time and sleep these days :) That some of these were deemed unworthy of individual listings baffles me! First up, some Romans Tiberius, "Livia as Salus" AE dupondius - pretty worn, but still a highly coveted type! [ATTACH=full]1254509[/ATTACH] Caligula for Germanicus, AE Dupondius, SIGNIS RECEPTIS type, also rough, and desirable in pretty much any grade! [ATTACH=full]1254510[/ATTACH] Vespasian Dupondius / Roma - this is IMO the definition of honest wear - and I had already been feeling the itch for some nice Flavian AE anyway![ATTACH=full]1254508[/ATTACH] Fast forward to some really exceptional Crisis ants - Quintillus / AETERNIT AVG, not the best condition, but a much more realistic portrait than is usually encountered on his bronzes [ATTACH=full]1254505[/ATTACH] Tacitus, MARS VICTOR - fully silvered, with a nice thick coat of silver wash[ATTACH=full]1254504[/ATTACH] Probus / ADVENTVS PROBI AVG, a lovely martial bust[ATTACH=full]1254502[/ATTACH] Also Probus / IOVI CONS PROBI AVG, brilliant, full coat of silvering [ATTACH=full]1254503[/ATTACH] Carausius, for Diocletian from London / PAX AVGGG [ATTACH=full]1254507[/ATTACH] An abdication follis of Maximian, a type I have been hunting for well over two years now [ATTACH=full]1254506[/ATTACH] That's all for now but stay tuned! Got any recent lot grabs? Let's see them![/QUOTE]
