Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 08/07/2013 2:01 pm Theres a coin shop opposite the British Museum - who'd have known? Anyway, found a roman coins junk bin - £2 each. Picked out a few nice ones from the slicks and Valentinians. Wittled it down to just these ones: 2x Constantine Commemoratives (Quadriga), a coin I now know to be Thessalonian (around 66BC) which shows Janus and 2 Centaurs (I originally thought it was Probus and SOLI, but closer look and I saw it for what it was), a completely unknown brass coin and finally, what I believe is Leo I. Also, the British museum had a look at a Carausius of mine and they reckon its a capricorn! Report this Post to the Staff

At that time could only find a really low grade Constantius II "fallen horseman" and a Julian II "VOT". I was in the area anyhow, was at Spink to see if they had any books by Ivan Varbanov (Nope, so bought them from Bulgaria instead), then went to the BM to see an exhibition "In search of Classical Greece". Wouldn't have gone to the Shop otherwise. Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 08/07/2013 6:37 pm Yeah, very pricy. I looked at some coins worth less than £10 valued over £100 and knew something was amiss. But they did have collector tickets for £1 for a bag. I was going to get some but didnt have the change for it. Report this Post to the Staff
