Apart from being nice, this coin has a priceless attribute: the location and circumstances where it was found; that's so rare! That's why I myself always try to know more about the finding place and/or possible hoard.

Thanks, J. The find history swayed me favorably on this coin too and I have another Antioch Probus in the collection that I think was done by the same celator. I've never seen a Clementia Temp Probus Ant this good, not that there aren't others that are better. -c
