EFLargeCents Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 02/04/2016 11:51 am Another Probus, another mint down. I also have two new obverse/reverse styles for my collection. I like the Mars reverse. It goes along well with the obverse on this one. RIC 509 QXXI star-star. Common type I believe. I like that it was struck on an oversized flan.

lrbguy Pillar of the Community United States 949 Posts	Posted 02/04/2016 10:25 pm The coin looks very nice, but what is that going on in the exergue with the mint mark? Do you plan to "liberate" it from the slab? Report this Post to the Staff

EFLargeCents Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 02/05/2016 12:02 pm Thanks everyone! Irbguy, the reverse die was probably rusty or pitted in some manner, at least that is what it looks like to me. I haven't decided on liberating it yet, I just don't have another storage system for raw coins set up that I prefer. But I would like to crack it out at some point yes. Report this Post to the Staff
