    Hi all! I have this coin in my collection, and was wondering how much it was worth. It is a very rare legionary antoninianus of Carausius, LEG II reverse.

    This similar type, similar(ish) condition one was sold on eBay by a reputable dealer recently for about £275, but I'm not sure how mine stacks up in comparison. Their reverse looks better, but my obverse looks better (although weakly struck)

    The dark and light green deposits on my coin do not come off (and are set hard on the surface), so I don't think it's bronze disease. I'm not sure about the white deposits though

    Thanks!
