There is still a tiny bit of lustre around the devices and in the field behind the head, which is amazing for a 205 year old coin!

I have several coins that cost me more than this one did originally, but this is still my favourite I have owned it since 1993. It had just come in a penny board into a coin shop that I was visiting on a Saturday morning. There was a nearly complete set of cents from 1793-1857 in the board, only the 1799 and a couple of others were missing. Most of the dates after 1820 were uncs. I knew I could not buy the whole board, but I had to have something and this was it.

This is one of my favourite coins:-

 

Probus Antoninuanus

Obv:– VIRTVS PRO-BI AVG, Radiate, helmeted, cuirassed bust left, holding spear and shield, decorated with emperor riding past row of soldiers with shields

Rev:– ADVENTVS PROBI AVG, Emperor riding left, right hand raised, left holding sceptre; at foot, captive

Minted in Lugdunum (IIII) Emission 5 Officina 4. End A.D. 277 to Early A.D. 278

Ref:– Cohen 69. Bastien 256 (2 examples cited). RIC 64 Bust Type G.

Minted to commemorate the return of the Emperor through Lugdunum on his way to Rome after a successful campaign against the German tribes.

A crisp example with full silvering. The shield is decorated with the emperor on horseback riding past his troops with a raised hand.

These two are my favorites. The half may be scratched, but like the nickel came from my Grandparents.

Gpnyc, way to put my collection to shame, lol. Seriously what's the lowest grade coin in your collection, that large cent?! Haha, beautiful coins, and I certainly would have trouble picking a fav. if my coins all looked like that as well!
