VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 08/09/2011 12:57 pm About the late Roman ancients with the big prominent chi-rho (I think its also called a christogram) on the reverse... is that particular design expensive? Because I have been looking for one online and the only one I found was 80-something bucks. If you need a pic of what the coin I'm talking about I can post an example. Thanks Edited by VisigothKing 08/09/2011 1:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff

VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 08/09/2011 5:02 pm thats a bummer.... I would think they would be cheap in average worn condition just like other Roman bronzes of the same time period but apparently not. Report this Post to the Staff
bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 08/09/2011 5:47 pm I sold the following Constantius II christogram 6 months ago for about £20GBP so if I were you I would keep looking before spending $80 on one. I personally don't think they merit such a premium. https://goccf.com/t/66512 They are popular mainly due to the Christian connections even though the more you look into it the less convinced you become that the symbol is correct / seen as a vision / used in battle / has a definite Christian connection! Its still a nice looking reverse though whatever the reason. Report this Post to the Staff
