Here is a little AE4 I got of Leo I from an acquaintance on facebook a few weeks ago. These are all made small & scrappy at this time period due to the turbulent time of Rome. Leo I (457 - 474 A.D.) Æ4 O: D N LEOP F AVG (or similar), pearl diademed, draped and cuirassedbust right. R. Lion crouching left, head turned back right, CON (Constantinople) in exergue. Constantinople (Istanbul, Turkey) mint .84g RIC X 674, LRBC 2260
I had 1 of these when they first came out, but had to sell it during hard times. the prices on these have shot up since then. I think they will continue to go up.
Very nice looking MS-62 peace dollar. Ive certainly seen worse looking coins at that grade level. Win!
