<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7294398, member: 19463&quot;]The Probus and Maximianus ID&#039;s are correct.&nbsp; Neither is in a condition that would be worth the postage to mail them to someone but attractive, mid grade ones might bring $10-20.&nbsp; As with modern coins, condition is everything when it come to price.&nbsp; If your only interest is their value, I would suggest giving them to a child who will then win a school contest for bringing in the oldest item.&nbsp; Each of these rulers issued hundreds of varieties of their coins and I do not have an exact match for either of yours.&nbsp; I am not a specialist in these but even a specialist would want better looking coins for ten times the value of these.&nbsp; I post below two coins, one Probus and one Maximianus, that I suspect would sell for 20 to 50 times yours but that are no more interesting and no older than yours.&nbsp; Which would a coin collector prefer?&nbsp; Which would be cool in elementary school?&nbsp; If you decide to go into ancients, I suggest you consider better coins that are easily readable at least until you determine how interested you are in any particular ruler.&nbsp; A coin 1800 years old does not have to look rough and ugly.&nbsp; It just depends on where it was buried (type of soil, kind of pot etc.) and how harshly it was cleaned by its finder.&nbsp; Both of these still have some of their original silver plating but the Probus is several times more desirable in a condition sense due to even surfaces.&nbsp; Clear?</p><p>Probus</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1276349[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Maximianus</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1276350[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
