<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 2445389, member: 31620&quot;]Here are four coins of Probus all of the same bust type and reverse type, from the same issue and the same bust type. The all have different levels of appeal. Its not just the wear or lack of it is the quality of engraving and style.</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Lost all silvering but has a chocolate brown colouration with a few small patchy deposits remaining</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_132ja_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>2) Lots of silvering though it has disappeared in small patches and on some high areas. It has turned to a gold or orange tone in areas too</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_132xp_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>3) The reverse is nearly fully silvered but the obverse has some spotting in the silvering but has lost all the silvering on the bottom third of the bust</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_132xl_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>4) Nearly fully silvered</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_132nr_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
