Hey guys, just wondering how its going for everyone else.

I try to stick to the rule of never spending more than 50p per coin - maybe £1 per coin if they are top notch. Lost a lot a few minutes ago which I liked but lost out by £1. Had a possible Vetranio (its an issue produced only by Vetranio but he also made them for constantius II - pretty high grade though), a starry field helmet and a nice trier campgate among others. Nice crusty lot.

65 coins, £34 (postage included) - that guy will have fun!

My last couple uncleaned purchases have turned out fairly well. I have an excellent Constantine with a Jade green patina soaking in some DW and I have an absolutely excellent Probus with a Helmeted bust too and what looks like a Female bust but only time will tell

Quite a few of my latest lot seem to have silver plating on. No idea who they are though!

I prefer each coin for 2$, in hope it would be a premium top grade.
I don't really like to waste money on cheap quality ones.
