Message:: [QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 2232658, member: 31620"]I answer to your question Doug, Nor I. I have long abandoned any hope of chasing some of the more exotic Probus coins. A Horsehead will set you back $1,000+ with one in 2012 selling for $2,500+. A VOT shield is a mere $600+ with examples breaking $2,200 if you want grade and silvering. A Calliope will go for anywhere between $2,500 to over $8,000. Desirable legends such as the PIVS here can go for as little as $50 are generally around $150 but can go upwards from there are more achievable. but change them to BONO, PERPETVO or DEO ET DOMINO  legends and the price shoots up though there are the odd sleepers out there. I would settle for getting what would be a normal bust at most mints (Bust Type H - Trabea and Secptre) from Lugdunum but can expect any examples I see to be $1,000+. I will carry on trudging in the background buying coins I like, looking for something interesting hoping nobody else spots it. The problem is that there are more people out there spotting them too.[/QUOTE]
