[QUOTE="Harry G, post: 7615407, member: 105282"]Hi all! Just thought I'd share a neat little purchase I made. I was browsing eBay, as I normally do, and came across this listing. [ATTACH=full]1310850[/ATTACH] The picture leaves much to be desired, but I thought I'd click anyway, just in case a rarer coin was included. [ATTACH=full]1310849[/ATTACH] The second image was much better. I wonder why they didn't put that as their first image? They would have probably attracted so many more bidders. I won the lot for just under £13, and this is what arrived! [ATTACH=full]1310846[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1310845[/ATTACH] I'm super stoked with this lot, particularly that beautiful Magnentius follis [ATTACH=full]1310851[/ATTACH] The coin looks much better in hand, and is so detailed, especially his thick eyebrows [ATTACH=full]1310876[/ATTACH] Share any coins that you bought that were better than pictured! EDIT: [I]It looks like I misattributed the Magnentius, and I think it's actually Decentius. If anyone knows a precise attribution, I'd welcome any ideas! EDIT 2: Holy cow I think it's this one from Ambianum mint!
