3 poor but rare Crispus coins
« on: November 01, 2015, 11:14:28 AM »
I was cataloging a group of coins which had these three in it. It is always nice to find rarer coins, but it is a shame that the condition of these is not so good...why can't all coins be FDC?  :D The votive from Ticinum is a fairly tough one to find.
