Is he holding something (Victory)?
I agree with JW that often what RIC considers 'common' can seem far from when your looking far a particular coin. This also works the other way in that 'rare' coins seem to surface quite regularly. I guess 99.99% of Roman coins should really be considered 'commonish'.
Nice looking coin monty.

Tacitus appears holding an eagle topped scepter associated with the consulship. You see these commonly with Probus but less often with Tacitus. I don't own one either. If the coin were in better condition, it would be a premium item.

hello
Thank you all for your responses:)
Yes I'm from Poland. The coin belongs to my friend.
I have one question. If I wanted to sell, how much could I get?
regards
Tom

I just checked Vcoins, and out of nearly 500 Tacitus coins for sale, there is not one left facing bust. You can take a look at this link to get an idea of what you might be able to ask for the coin. But remember, Vcoins is generally a tad high on the prices: http://search2.vcoins.com/results.a...36f78a4cf66dRegards, |

Wow--500 coins without a single left-facing bust?  I looked on acsearch, which only turned up one sale of a left-facing denarius, which sold for 20000 CHF.   Edited by DVCollector

Yes, unless I missed one, I saw no left facing coins on Vcoins for sale. That's a beautiful coin you posted DVC, but the price is outrageous. 20000 CHF equals $21,780. Yikes! No way is that coin worth that price. Are you sure it didn't say 2000 CHF? Even then it would be way too much, but at least not astronomical.

Still, $12,000 for this type of coin seems way out there. Personally, I think someone had more money then sense. There are some nice and very rare coins I'd like to own that would cost less than that one. I think even stevex6 wouldn't pay that much  (only joking steve) |

No argument here--I could have a very nice collection of Greeks for that sum.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but IMHO your coin is maybe worth $30 to $50 to someone interested in this particular emperor and wanting a left facing bust. I think you are reaching if you get up to $100. Sorry, but that's my opinion.
