Here is another coin with a nice portrait that I picked up pretty cheap. The patina is more of a black greenish color.

Did you see the prices these are selling for on ebay I saw some really nice coins go for as low as $5 plus shipping.
Rest in Peace

While worn, all the important legends are there and the coin looks good. If this big, clear coin is selling for $5 we might worry about a fair price for the little, bad ones.

One of my favorite emperors to collect, one of the few good one. Nice coin.
