Message:: [QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2911224, member: 19463"]There are problems with being a Carausius fan.  You must get over standards of quality commonly applied to most specialties.  His earliest issues and the product of his Continental mint (Rouen, Rotomagus) are a bit more crude than most collectors will tolerate.  There are many types that do not come in a presentable grade by most standards.  Most of his attractive coins are Pax or Providentia.  I would love to have more of his coins but finding clear ones of the other reverses has not come easily.  My best is a Providentia (PROVID AVGGG S-P / C) with the scarce PFI obverse legend.
