pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 09/02/2013 12:50 pm Cool thanks. It is not the one I bid for. It is from his own collection after his dad posted mine to somebody else by accident! What is left of the coin is nice and crisp. Report this Post to the Staff

pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 09/02/2013 3:16 pm Well, how much do you think it is worth (it is not for sale). Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 09/02/2013 3:38 pm There havent been any on ebay in at least 90 days and I cant recall ever seeing one. Silvering is very rare in the UK, so there are few surviving. Theres one with weaker silvering on sale for $600 in the US. This one sold for $450: I couldnt find many other examples and none which went for sale. Fancy! Id take that over a Macrinus denarius or a Nero As. Report this Post to the Staff
