Crispus VOT/XV FEL/XX from Rome

This is a nice example of a rare type. Probably a bit over-priced at $499.00 though.

The guy selling it also seems to be mainly a US coin person as he describes this coin as "Mint State" and he uses a rarity scale known Sheldon- Breen Rarity Scale and calls this coin an R6 with 13- 30 examples. Not surprisingly, he was also off a little with the RIC number and called this one Rome 216.
