<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 1829176, member: 57495&quot;]I had quite abit of fun with my first purchase.&nbsp; It was a mixed bag of :&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>1 quadrans (Trajan)</p><p>1 as (Hadrian)</p><p>1 denarius (Septimius Severus - coincidentally the same type as the OP coin)</p><p>1 fouree denarius (Marcus Aurelius - didn&#039;t even know what a fouree was at the time)</p><p>2 provincial AEs (Nero and Elagabalus)</p><p>2 antoninianii (Gallienus and Claudius II) </p><p>1 sesterius (Philip I)</p><p>1 AE3 (Valens)</p><p><br /></p><p>I spent a few days looking through the pages of coins that one dealer had to offer, and then selected 10 coins that appealed to me and that I felt would give me good sample of Roman coinage from the 1st through 4th century.&nbsp; &nbsp; They were all pretty much lower end or common types and on average I paid about $20 per coin, the most expensive being a $50 Antioch AE of Nero and the cheapest being an $8 Valens.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Apart from the sestertius which I posted in the recent Philip I thread, this she-wolf quadrans of Trajan remains a favorite from that first purchase.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]301683[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
