ancientcoinguy Pillar of the Community United States 842 Posts	Posted 12/15/2013 10:03 am Thanks guys! I haven't seen toning on very many ancients and that helped me in my decision to get this one. I also love how centered the strike is. There is still a lot of detail left on the coin as well. How hard is it to find coins of Herennia Etruscilla? I really haven't seen many for sale before so that makes me think she is fairly rare. What is the average price range for her coins? I payed $53.95 for this one. Was that too much? It's easily my most well-preserved antoninianus in my collection now. I guess I can start looking for coins of Decius, Hostilian, and Herennius Etruscus to complete the family set! Edit: I accidentally a letter. Edited by ancientcoinguy 12/15/2013 10:04 am Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21789 Posts	Posted 12/15/2013 5:48 pm At $53.95, I would have jumped at this piece myself! You have every right to be pleased with it. Antoninianii of this Empress are a little scarce, but are much harder to find, when they are as good as this one is. Report this Post to the Staff
