<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1573257, member: 19463"]It is very much a matter of you get what you pay for. All three coins are appropriately priced for what you get. The $18 coin has damage in the rx field and is missing a lot of legend. The $28 is more sound but nothing special in terms of condition. For $50 you could get a better looking Domna and Bargain Bin will have one someday. The Probus is a nice example of a common coin and priced accordingly. There are more interesting Probus types but they may cost more. You could get one with less detail for half the price and one as good looking as the lesser Domna for $10. Again the same dealer will have one someday. If I were buying, I'd get the Probus but it is your money and your choice. Most beginners seem to prefer silver coins. In that case, I'd go for this one which is nicer than my own coin of its type:</p><p><a href="http://bargainbinancients.com/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=2716" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://bargainbinancients.com/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=2716" rel="nofollow">http://bargainbinancients.com/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=2716</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>There is no right or wrong answer here.
