Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 03/08/2018 12:44 am The spidey sense never fails. I got the jitters and the shakes, and against my better judgement I pulled up ebay and typed in the vague term "ancient coin lot". Lo and behold... Eastern Roman Empire Marcian, 450-457 AE4 Nummus DN MARCI[ANVS PF AVG], Diademed bust right Marcian's monogram 5a within wreath RIC X 541? I've only seen a handful of this type where Marcian doesn't look like a potato on the obverse. Coins averaged out to be under $6 each; less than $30 after all was said and done.
