[QUOTE="hotwheelsearl, post: 5165076, member: 75143"]I got a large junk hoard of several hundred coins, most of them, well, junk. One of the few highlights this time around was a TINY nummus of LEO I! At about 9.5mm, it's quite small, but surprisingly detailed, at least as far as these tiny late empire coins go. These are also pretty dang expensive, with quite a high size-to-cost ratio, and examples tend to sell on eBay for $50 or so. I doubt it's even possible to find a full flan, full legend coin of Leo, but I am fortunate to have the letters EO show up clearly on the obverse. [ATTACH=full]1210400[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
