    Nice Otho Bing!

    I'll bet that one didn't fall into your "budget coin" category. ;)

    Bing Illegitimi non carborundum Supporter

    You would win that bet. Otho coins do not come cheap no matter the grade.

    Ok guys, I know a lot of people are "tapping out", including myself. lol

    I know for a fact some people here have some rarer ones. Let's see them coin bros and sisters before this thread is a distant memory! lol

    137 Macrianus (Provincial from Nicaea and Byzantium in alliance SGI 4732) - I don't accept that high number even for the antoniniani. There are many of his and Quietus' coin on the market.

    My 144 Romulus is quite possibly a fake made from an electrotype rather than the post mint damage coin that I bought it as in 1995. I suppose I could take it back to the dealer and see if it had a 20 year guarantee but it is one of my more interesting oddball coins.

    Well, since there is doubt I'm not going to count this particular Romulus coin, if you don't mind. It is an interesting coin though.

    Marius coins seem to be rare and they are expensive. The bulk majority of them when they are for sale seem to be around $200+ the last time I checked. Unless a lot of them are on the market now.
