I almost fell off the couch when I won this one 15 minutes ago. Hmmm something is going to have to go I am affraid. Need to make some room for this fellow ...... 35mm 26.8 grams !! sellers photos I would have waited for delivery so I could do my own photo. But I am so exited I think I might need a blood pressure pill ....... my ears are ringing Edited by FVRIVS RVFVS 04/22/2013 2:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3446 Posts	Posted 04/22/2013 4:12 pm It was a 'fair bit' Ben. But it was far less than I thought it would go for. To be honest although I love the coin I was bidding to keep the other guys honest. If I had not bid on it some one else would have walked away with the prize for a price that would surprise you. Lets just say about the equivalent of say 7 Folli of Galerius (Thessalonika mint). I paid around 8 Galerius Folli (or about 4 Maximianus Folli Carthage mint). A terrific bargain in my book !
