See eligibility Description This is from a batch of Roman Imperial coins I bought on ebay several years ago. I'm selling it because my interest is in having a variety of general types, rather than complete sets, and I have too many like this. The surface is mostly nicely toned, with clearly-visible details, but with medium-fine and very fine granularity in the "crevice" areas. It was attributed by a previous owner as a billon tetradrachm of Constantius I, minted in year 1 (293 AD) at Alexandria. The reverse is Elpis (Spes), walking left, holding a flower. "L" and "A" in the field. The online sources say the type is correct, but that it's probably made of potin (i.e., the Romans had stopped adding any silver to their "silver" coins by the time this one was minted). The actual diameter of this coin is about 19mm, and it's a bit less than 4mm thick. For reference information about the coins of Constantius, check out Dave Surber's site. There are also some interesting articles and photos at coinsofromanegypt.org. Payment: I'm not a dealer, just a hobbyist having an "online garage sale". So I can't accept credit card payments. Paypal users must have a confirmed address. Shipping: the $1.99 flat fee is for First Class mail in a Saflip® (not one of those icky vinyl abominations) in a padded envelope. If you win more than one auction, I'll be happy to combine shipping. Insurance: Insurance is available. I made it optional, but the ebay software keeps setting it to "no". If you'd like insurance, delivery tracking, etc., just let me know: I'll charge you only what the USPS charges me.
