[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1464035, member: 26302"]Yeah, but Gordian III is probably the most common roman silver you will ever come across. I left about 8 of these in Harlan Berk's pick box at $18 a piece since I am sick of them. They were about this condition. I bought all of the really nice XF/gVF ones though. Its a common coin, but popular with non-ancient collectors due to it being a Roman emperor, silver, frequntly found in high grade, and inexpensive. If a non-ancient collector tells me they have a Roman silver coin, this coin is what I expect to see. Usually I am not disappointed. :) Seriously though, its a nice enough coin, but its really easy to get a much nicer one still inexpensively. If you own it, its cool, but if looking to buy try to get a nice VF. Btw the denomination is antoninuous, (double denarius). You can tell by the crown of rays he is wearing.[/QUOTE]
