Apparently, Helena London mint coins are really rare. I didn't see not a single one at VCoins, nor on ebay. I saw only one at Wildwinds.

Interesting to see what people are concentrating on.

And to catch up on the threads and what people have been buying since my laptop metltdown (it was literally an internal meltdown!) and getting it repaired.

I have a couple of London mint coins on ebay at the minute if people are after some reasonably priced, honest coins, click the link in my sig. Mainly the non mintmarked follis coins of the Tetrarchy plus a few other titbits.

jamesicus, I've just (in the last hour) missed out on a 14A at auction! It was in bad shape and had bronze disease so I assumed I would get it for a song, sadly someone else wanted it more. Nevermind, it, in its shape would only have been a place filler till a better one came along.

Glad to see you back posting Bobby -- and keep the faith -- that 14a will come your way eventually.

As you can imagine, during my sixty-five years of collecting and researching Roman Imperial coins I have pursued several specialties from time to time: Julio-Claudians; Julio-Claudian Portrait (edit - added) Sestertii; Hadrian Sestertii; Trajan coinage; Roman Coins of the London Mint .....

I forgot to include Galba to Marcus Aurelius sestertii and Carausius/Allectus coinage. Some of those phases lasted several years. I do still "dabble" in general Roman Coins of the London Mint on occasion but my main collecting and researching emphasis is the Britannic coinage of Constantius.
