    New to this forum. Hope to be an asset to the group.
    Probus left facing.
    Believe it or not but I got this Probus RIC 809var from uncleaned coins about 3 years ago. It was indeed the best find I have ever had. I just recently sold this coin to a Probus collector in England. RIC 809 is a very rare coin and this 809 var is the only known specimen like it. I really hated to part with it but the[​IMG] price was fair.

    Wow, now that’s a find. I didn’t know there were still good places to source quality uncleaned lots.

    Sorry, no photo! my Probus looks similar to Andres2, also from Alexandria. And a billion tetradrachma. Oddly, though, my eagle looks in the opposite direction !
