 Helena  Porcius Festus - A2 I got both of these for $25 since that's all the cash I could get to spend on coins lately. These are the seller's photos. I will be posting my own scanner photos later. I haven't attributed them yet. Also, this is the first time I've purchased from Bargain Bin Ancient Coins. Let's see how it goes. Both of these coins fill slots in my collection even though they are low grade.

The Helena came out OK but the Porcius Festus image didn't. The Helena alone is probably worth near the $25 you paid.

What's wrong with the Porcius Festus image? It doesn't show up at all?
Well, I didn't take the photo. It's part of a group lot, you just pick which one you want. In this case, it's the last one A2 on a grid.

I figured that was it, since it is the ony one without the sold typed on top. It's hard to tell much about it though from that image.

If you click on the image a larger one will come up in a popup window as it does for me. You might be able to see the coin better.
