Won another lot of these Ants...unfortunately too late to combine postage. Put quite a few bids on the other lots, hopefully ill grab a couple of those (mitts off!).   This is a nicer lot - top left is Saloninus and has a nice reverse type: DII NVTRITORES (The Gods Nurtured, a sentiment still retained on coinage in the UK today, which gives Elizabeth's titles (Elizabeth II Dei Gratia Regina Fidei Defensor - Elizabeth II, by the grace of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith)). Also a nice Tetricus - not many of his coins in good silver. |

Lovely ants. A good reason for a picnic on the 4th.

Nice Ben, are you squandering your student loan?

The student loans they give out dont come close to covering the fees these days - no, this is investing a surplus from my own budget.
Hopefully ill get 3 more lots of these before I'm done, have a nice pile of them stashed away.

One last lot (didnt want to spend too much, so let the rest go):   Of interest here is the nice reverse to the bottom Valerian and the high finess silver of the Gallienus. All told, the 9 antoniniani from this seller averaged out to £3.73 a pop (just shy of $6 each). |
