Title: "Unpublished intact Crispus"
Post by: Victor on November 22, 2016, 11:11:50 AM

I got a kick out of this listing- "This coins is not published in any catalogue I have"

The important bit being "any catalogue I have"  ::)

It is RIC VII Arles 287 and while it is listed as an r5 in RIC, the opening bid of $200 is probably a bit high.

Ferrando downgrades the rarity to r2 (#790)

Crispus

CRISPVS NOB CAES; Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust left.
PROVIDEN-TIAE CAESS; camp gate with two turrets and star between them.
in ex. TA crescent RL

I messaged the seller and gave him the info about his coin. He relisted the coin and changed the price...it's $100 more, so $300 now.  ???
