I was looking for a Roman coin to add to my collection, so I picked one up for $6, not bad I think. Well I want to know a value on it.

I think you did well and would say the coin is a solid $10.

Yes! I bought this because it's my first Roman coin, and I wanted to have something to show off in history class. XD

Yeah, they are attractive, but I want to save up some money/ I think I've only got around $50 left because of my recent coin purchases!

Well you need remember that 'Max' was an indomitable fellow. Forced to retire by his colleague and benefactor Diocletian he made a second grab for the 'gold' and issued coinage along with his son Maxentius. After being forced out a second time he made a third attempt by trying to subvert his son inlaw Constantine. Constantine gave the old boy a 'hair cut' before Max had a chance to issue any more coinage (too bad really). The coinage of the period is unusual and as yet quite affordable. You can pick up some little VF/EF gems for $25 and less.

OK coin, but an excellent pick-up for six bucks!
