[QUOTE="Finn235, post: 7304457, member: 98035"]Nice one! I love the coinage of Probus, and as a result I usually end up keeping them when I find an extra nice one in a lot. Interestingly, I've never purchased an individual Probus, all of these were lot grabs. These two were for my main portrait collection [ATTACH=full]1277350[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1277349[/ATTACH] These were just too pretty to let go [ATTACH=full]1277352[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1277354[/ATTACH] These I wagered I would be disappointed in the hammer on ebay, so I just kept them [ATTACH=full]1277351[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1277353[/ATTACH] Whenever I'm feeling snackish I usually cruise the Indian offerings on the 'bay. This is a recent pickup, one that I've wanted for a while but always shied away from on account of toxic metal + toddlers in the house. Chutus of Banavasi Mulanada, ca late 1st - early 3rd century AD PB full unit (29mm) This one has a nice crisp strike with full legend and a pleasing patina (ancient lead is so interesting!) [ATTACH=full]1277355[/ATTACH] Also, almost all of my Indo Sassanians would count as a "snack" but snacks add up to be more than the meal you would have eaten!
