Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 03/07/2013 8:18 pm I picked up this nice Diocletian follis (29mm in diameter) from Antioch a long time ago, but I have never been quite sure as to how much my coin may be worth. Any guesses? Thanks! Edited by Archraz 03/07/2013 8:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Biancasdad Pillar of the Community United States 1046 Posts	Posted 03/07/2013 8:49 pm Nice example Archraz! This is a fairly common reverse type that was produced with a myriad of different field marks, etc. I think your coin would realize at least $60 but likely a bit more. Here is a link to some examples from Antioch of this type: http://www.vcoins.com/en/Search.asp...OnSale=False Your coin really has lovely surfaces, Regards, -Kurt Edited by Biancasdad 03/07/2013 8:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 03/07/2013 8:53 pm I have listed nice folli on ebay and gotten $18. I have gone 'bottom feeding' and bought a few for under $12. I have seen dealers selling theirs for $30-40 and I have seen some asking $50-75 (whether they get it I don't know .... or care) A coin is only worth whatever some fool will pay for it ! In this case I think if you said $30 you would be in the right zone. Report this Post to the Staff
