<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2529643, member: 76194&quot;]I bid on a bunch of ancient/medieval Indian silver coins, and just for giggles I also put a somewhat low bid on a Roman coin ($100)...I&#039;ve seen them on vcoins.com for like $200-$300 in this condition.&nbsp; Well, I lost all my Indian bids, even some that I bid ridiculously high amounts on (I guess the secret is out about Indian coins), and was surprised to discover I actually won the Roman. This is my 30th Roman silver coin. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway. here she is.

M· FONTEI C·F, laureate head of Apollo Vejovis right; monogram below chin, AP monogram below chin / Eros (or infant winged Genius) seated on goat right; caps of the Dioscuri above; filleted thyrsos below; all within laurel wreath.

It&#039;s a very sharp XF coin, with only minor high trace wear on the high points of the coin. I&#039;m glad I got it now, because I almost bought this same type on several occasions over the last few months, and none of the other examples were anywhere as sharp as this one despite costing about the same.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
