    I got this rather nice LRB of Valentinian I today. It only cost $7 USD with free shipping. I like the obverse on this common coin, its pretty sharp for 1,700 years of age. The reverse has the emperor dragging a prisoner holding the Christian Chi-Ro and translates into the Glory of Rome (GLORIA ROMANORVM). Minted in Siscia and is RIC 14a.
