[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 4887286, member: 85693"]Fun thread. Because I buy unidentified lots of eBay, some of my coins work out to being very cheap per coin. Over the past couple of years I've gotten a few cheap 12 Caesars this way. For pricing, I divide the number of coins by price paid for the lot - I don't include shipping. This is disgraceful, but it is a $1 Titus - you can see the "T CAE..." at the bottom of the bust. Came in an eBay lot of 10 for $10. Sorry. [ATTACH=full]1179361[/ATTACH] [B]Titus Æ As (72 A.D.)
