Title: I hate when I buy a coin for no real reason
Post by: Victor on September 06, 2022, 04:06:26 PM

At night, I have a few cocktails before bed and the problem is that sometimes I browse coin listings. I bought the coin below and forgot all about it until I looked through my old emails. It is nice enough but I already have a decent example. I don't know what I was thinking... ::)

Constantine I. 307-337 AD. AE 1/2 Follis (2.06 gm, 18mm). Rome mint. Struck 312/3 AD. Obv.: FL VAL CONSTANTINVS AVG, laureate and cuirassed bust right. Rev.: PACI P-ERPET, Pax standing left, holding branch and standard; XII//RQ. RIC 356. Scarce. VF.

I've been there as well  ;D Every now and then, late at night, it also includes bidding way to much for a coin...

I know what you say….
A few days ago I was so bored I sent a few bids to Heritage, low “no sense” bids, on coins I already have i my collection. And I won.. 🙈
