Barnaba6 Posted May 26, 2023 · Member Share Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) I posted 110 of my Probus coins for sale on ebay. Please have a look. The prices are very attractive and I am open to offers: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?item=275871276393&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m3561.l2562&_ssn=barnabaskibniewski11 All coins come from my private specialized Probus antoninianii collection (the second biggest Probus antoniani collection in the world) which I have been building for 12 years. You may have come across my last auctions organized by Roma Numismatics or one of my 10 previous specialized Probus auctions organized by Rzeszowski Dom Aukcyjny and Gabinet Numizmatyczny Damian Marciniak auction houses over the last 3 years. I am curious how the sales one-bay will go. Edited May 26, 2023 by Barnaba6 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probus had a lot of premium shields. I always found those TXXT issues interesting for the omission of the I in XXI. To figure out which T is Tertia and which is Ticinum you need to see a coin from another officina like this SXXT. I got really interested in Probus about thirty years ago when a bunch appeared on the market at lower prices. Then, later coins were not very popular and I did not know anyone who was into Probus. I dropped out when I failed to find any of the really special ones (Vota shield, horsehead). It was hard for me to settle on just one specialty and Probus with his many obverses was a real contender.

Prieure de Sion Posted June 12, 2023 · Member Share Posted June 12, 2023 If I didn't already collect something else - Probus would be my favourite to collect. I find his coins and his busts beautiful. But unfortunately you can't collect everything. But Probus is really a great collecting area. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the rows of soldiers with shields on Probus Ticinum coins are not always very visible and well struck. Sometimes they do look like simple dots. A lot depended on the quality of particular dies and the artistry of individual die cutters. Below are a few great examples from my collection with obvious rows of "soldiers holding shields" decorated on the shield: https://www.colleconline.com/en/items/125697/coins-ancient-to-romans-imperial-and-republican-probus-ric-351-sold https://www.colleconline.com/en/items/125708/coins-ancient-to-romans-imperial-and-republican-probus-ric-361-sold https://www.colleconline.com/en/items/125743/coins-ancient-to-romans-imperial-and-republican-probus-ric-383-sold 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that it has obviously taken many years to acquire such a large, diverse and amazing collection of Probus coins. I am also quite sure it has also taken a lot of work and time to move your vast collection on to new collectors (to say the least). I hope when this is all said and done you can write a post here explaining the whole process, what you've learned along the way and any advice for someone in the same position down the line. I am sure it would be a very interesting read. Best of luck with your remaining sales. I will be putting in a few bids on eBay. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
