EFLargeCents Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 01/04/2017 10:01 am Biedercoins, not sure what its value would be, but I paid $132 for it, which is probably too much, but it is pretty nice and a scarcer variety for the mint. Report this Post to the Staff
Biedercoins Pillar of the Community United States 1609 Posts	Posted 01/04/2017 11:06 am I was wondering because there is one in similar condition (different strike and they're describing it as EF) on the Bay for a hundred more than yours. Report this Post to the Staff
EFLargeCents Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 01/04/2017 11:41 am That sounds like way too much money. I have only paid more than $200 for one London mint coin, and it is nicer than any I have come across. The majority of my London mint bronzes I spent less than $125, most around $50-$80.

DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 01/04/2017 1:30 pm Excellent... The only batch of coins I ever tried to clean had the two captives reverse amongst it. Those coins were well below exceptable condition though, most unlike yours which are fresh, clean and crispy Crispus's. Congrats. Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3495 Posts	Posted 01/05/2017 07:00 am Wonderful helmeted bust ! Almost looks like an Art Deco style Flash Gordon portrait. With the excellent spear and shield added in for extra I can see why you may have paid a bit extra for it. Some things are worth paying for ! Early London is always good to have around. I finally arranged my own London Folles by portrait style. I bought way too many last year. Much to my great satisfaction I actually found an obverse die match of Galerius as Caesar. Joy !
