[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3160622, member: 19463"]Good post. I'll question the statement that the full AE1 follis is the least expensive coin but the big ones are definitely the ones to buy. I'm sorry you chose not to show the reverses here. Yes, many of them are too much the same but there are a few 'better' ones. I'll add a Maximinus II follis of Rome with Moneta reverse.

[ATTACH=full]811130[/ATTACH] The 1/5 laureate follis fractions are less common and also not silvered. This is a Divus Constantius I of Rome. [ATTACH=full]811134[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
