steboro New Member United Kingdom 5 Posts	Posted 04/25/2018 4:11 pm A worn Carausius I know there is twelve of this type in the british museum , but there are only around 25 known coins with BRI Mintmark One was found in the The Frome hoard of 52,503 coins'quote' There is one very rare coin with the mintmark BRI, surely standing for Britannia...i know it's very worn so where would I start on valuing this coin.

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3443 Posts	Posted 04/27/2018 1:51 pm You have a problem putting value when dealing with such a scarce 'commodity'. Few verifiable transactions to give much indication of what it can bring at auction. Even less for what it can bring retail. Several years ago I bumbled across an Antoninus Pius Sestertius being sold as unidentified by a French ebay seller. I recognized the seated figure as Britannia and scooped it up for the price of an average bronze. For larks I had listed it on ebay for $350 assuming no one would be crazy enough to buy it. For a very long time nobody did ........ But one of your fellow Brits (Time Team alum) also bumbled into my listing and was happy to scoop it off me ! Sear actually lists these in the $1000 range ! If it floats your boat you might ask "Guy" if he has an opinion. He is a nice fellow and just might want it himself ! Carausius is his area of expertise Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3443 Posts	Posted 04/27/2018 3:09 pm Since you are new here I don't believe you are allowed to contact me through the forum. I have a "backdoor" address but don't want to abuse it. He is retired from Time Team and teaching French at a very nice school. I believe you can google his name and come up with a "public" email Good luck If you can't get through let me know and I will see if I can't get an answer at the back door Report this Post to the Staff
