<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1887467, member: 42773&quot;]I collected three coins today.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. A marvelous Valentinian I with sharp detail, full legends, and a clear mint mark. I&#039;ve lately become more and more interested in post-Constantinian bronzes, so I was happy to find this coin for the price of a sandwich.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. A Constantius II FH. I have several examples of this ubiquitous type, but this one struck me as one of the nicest for an AE3: almost complete legends and crisp detail on both sides. The drawback is the weak mint mark, which is obviously Siscia, but I can&#039;t make out anything else. Still, most FH AE3&#039;s are poorly made and preserved, and this one stood out for its sharp, clean character. Also for the price of a sandwich.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. A lovely ant of Gallienus with chiseled devices on a round flan, Virtus reverse. For the price of two sandwiches, how could I go wrong?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]321203[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]321204[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]321205[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
