<p>[QUOTE=&quot;YOC, post: 2340994, member: 58941&quot;]I did not not have a Probus in my collection, although I have wanted one for a while.&nbsp; I like their style and find them very appealing.&nbsp; However, as I generally buy groups of later coins, I just havent bumped into any.&nbsp;&nbsp; Yesterday I met a dealer/collector from my local area and bought a few coins from him.&nbsp; One was this coin, which i immediately spotted must have come from a hoard.&nbsp; The detail was there, but the fields were filled with a pale green hard deposit.</p><p>I wish I had taken photos, because the transformation once I had soaked the coin in my witches brew was spectacular.&nbsp; I had no idea that the coin was silvered until I rubbed the green away with a cotton bud.</p><p>The coin cost me £14 GBP, which I think was fair bearing in mind the condition it was in when I bought it, but I think its a bit better now.&nbsp; Please show me some of your Probus coins....the more silver the better!!</p><p>ps.&nbsp; I cant make out the mint mark on this one...its R and then possibly a thunderbolt and another character??</p><p>3.6g</p><p>22mm</p><p>[ATTACH=full]475674[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]475675[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
