I hear a lot of talk about "crustiness" over here, but pah! I don't think you Litesiders

There's nothin' quite like a 1,600-year dirt nap to bring out the REAL crust.

These fourth-century pieces are the "modern crap" of my new collection. Some of the most common and later-date coins that will be in my set.

But favorites nonetheless, especially that Licinius. Wow, now there's some crust, eh? The second Constantine the Great ain't too shabby, either, in the crust department.

I'd better not tell y'all what I paid for some of these. You might get sick. There are zinc Memorial cents and Statehood quarters that cost more... lots more.

But if you whisper in my ear just right, I'll tell you where I got 'em. Same guy has some more...

These cost me anywhere from five to twenty bucks apiece. That Licinius follis, which is my favorite late-Roman bronze so far, was $20 well spent, in my opinion.

Of course, I have some gorgeous silver, too, and the gold coin seen in my current sigline. But this thread is about CRUST.

Lordmarcovan,

I am just kidding about susie b. She is uglier than any roman emperor.
I was talking CRUST, too .
