[QUOTE="Bart9349, post: 805995, member: 5682"]This is a very nice example of a Probus that many knowledgable collectors would certainly be willing to pay at least this amount. The legend is readable and it is an interesting example of the type. That said, it might be a little "too nice", if you get what I mean. Respectfully, there are many people whose interest in Ancients is not just the "Twelve Caesars;" i.e., those emperors mentioned in Suetonius's biographies of the first eleven emperors along with Julius Caesar. Here's an example of someone dedicated to Probus coins: [url]http://probvs.net/probvs/[/url] As a non-coin collector, I must say this is a nice piece of history of one of the pivotal emperors that saved the Roman Empire during the "Third Century Crisis." (Personally, I'm a big Claudius II Gothicus fan, but that is for another discussion at a different forum.) I say nice coin. :thumb: guy[/QUOTE]
