DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 03/11/2012 7:43 pm They all have nice details--isn't the Theodora a scarcer coin? Report this Post to the Staff
dougsmit Pillar of the Community United States 1549 Posts	Posted 03/11/2012 11:04 pm On average I'd say you did very well. To me the Theodora is worth twice the average and the Constantine about half but the four seem like a good group. Report this Post to the Staff

ancientcoinguy Pillar of the Community United States 842 Posts	Posted 03/12/2012 12:24 am DV, I read somewhere that the Theodora is quite scarce. R4 I believe (correct me if I am wrong). I had to have it; it is not often that coins of her come about. I was drawn to the first coin (the Aurelian) by the absolutely gorgeous bust it has. I may have overpaid slightly for the middle two, but it averages out in the end. Thank you everyone for your replies! Report this Post to the Staff
