probus ad 276-282

Given I pay in euros not in dollars, I think 20 quid for that Probus is a fair price. Should I want to buy one, I would be glad to pay that price. Good catch IMHO

Same for the A Pius, I have to say

For a roman antoninanus of that quality, I wouldn't have felt much like an idiot for paying £20 for it before I started working in the trade and had access to greater discounts than other people... I think people who think this was a rip off have perhaps had their perspective skewed by the fact that being a numismatist for a living gives you access to greater bargains than most non-trade people...

 

That is one nice looking ancient.

 

thank you and thanks to all that replyed.
i now know i was not robbed nor did not get a bargain but i am happy with the coin in hand.
