The auction yesterday went on for hours and the bidding was spirited for quite a few of the offerings. Some of the rarities went for a large amount of money. I bid on several and won one. I had the chance for several others but there are several other auctions this month I am interested in.

Here is my new Probus acquisition. I believe this is only my third 3rd century coin.


Probus, 276-282. Mint Ticinum. Antoninianus, 2nd em. 276.

3.23 G

Obv: Imp C m AVR PROBVS p avg. Drap. Tank bust with STKR. In back view on the right. RV/IOVI conse -

Rev: RVAT/VXXT. Emperor N. Standing right and receiving a globe from Jupiter, who stands on the left with Sceptre N. C-.

Ric 390.

Acquired in October 2003

From the Phillipe Gysen Collection

Paul-Francis Jacquier Auction 45 Lot 1395 September 14, 2018

Wow, that is a super pick-up! I like the forehead wrinkles on Probus' portrait.
