<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orielensis, post: 3913627, member: 96898&quot;]Coins like this prove that despite their reputation, LRBs can look pretty, too. Looking forward to seeing the other nine coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of my Constantinian Trier coins:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1031499[/ATTACH]</p><p><font size="3">Constantine the Great, Roman Empire, AE 3, 326 AD, Trier mint.

It&#039;s also worth to check out, for example, <a href="http://augustuscoins.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/</a> and some of the auctions taking place on <a href="https://www.biddr.ch/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.biddr.ch/" rel="nofollow">https://www.biddr.ch/</a>. </font></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="3"><font size="4">If I were you, I&#039;d stay away from lots of uncleaned ancient coins, though, especially those offered on ebay. In addition to never knowing where they are from, you&#039;ll likely just face an abyss of disappointment caused by hardly identifiable, heavily corroded slugs.</font></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
