Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 07/26/2012 08:28 am Nice coin Eng. But $130? Wow. Here is mine I paid $50 including the shipping. It's not from Nicomedia, but rather from Constantinople. Maybe that's the difference? Edited by Bing 07/26/2012 08:30 am Report this Post to the Staff
Doucet Pillar of the Community United States 1315 Posts	Posted 07/26/2012 09:19 am I wonder what it is about this Julian Bull type that makes it so popular with folks e.g. Emperor, Bull, overall design, rarity, size, metal? Has it always been a popular coin? Do you think it was a popular coin in it's day, AD 360? Were there some coin types that were just not popular back then, like our recent Susan B. Anthony dollar today? Report this Post to the Staff
MartiVltori Pillar of the Community United States 870 Posts	Posted 07/26/2012 09:55 am Gratz Eng! Nice coin. JW, you got a great deal. The CONS coins are normally still just as expensive. The price you got on yours is certainly the exception and not the norm. I would be more inclined to say "Wow" about the price you paid and not the other way around. Report this Post to the Staff

MartiVltori Pillar of the Community United States 870 Posts	Posted 07/26/2012 11:32 am Doucet, I think the main attraction to this coin is the reverse type. Report this Post to the Staff
