<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4273643, member: 19463"]As a general rule, I wish we would post what it is about a super rare coin that makes it special rather than just giving the data as read from the coin. I am not a Probus specialist. Looking at the coin shown here I can not say why I would buy it if it if it turned up in a $1 junk bin. I discover that I have seven Clementia Probus coins each of which differs in some way from the one starting this thread. The one below is closest but I had attributed it to "Antioch?" based on what I knew in 1997 when I bought it. If I had owned the OP coin and decided to give it away, I would not have thought of offering it to a Probus specialist rather than to a YN or beginner in the hobby. That is why I wish we would add a 'how and why' to postings that say 'rare'.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1087784[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
