<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hotwheelsearl, post: 4357904, member: 75143&quot;]I recently picked up this pretty rough Probus for about $0.74 from a mixed lot of 200 coins. It was my first Probus, so I couldn&#039;t complain for the price.</p><p><br /></p><p>Probus AE Antoninianus 279-280 AD</p><p>Obv: IMP C PROBVS PF AVG.

So, I spent $9.99 and got something better.</p><p><br /></p><p>Probus AE Antoninianus. 276-282 AD</p><p>Obv: IMP CM AVR PROBVS P AVG. Radiate, helmeted and cuirassed bust left.

Crackhead brothers for life![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
