Frank Villalon

Frank began dealing in ancient coins and artifacts as a result of the growth of his own collection. He is an especially avid collector of the radiates issued in the name of later Third Century emperors from Aurelian and Probus through Diocletian. He also has quite a few of the large follises struck from the time of Diocletian's reforms through the reign of Maxentius. He buys in large lots and sells what he does not need for his own collection at shows and by private sale. Frank has assembled a very nice collection of obverse busts of the emperor Probus over the past several years. His collection contains several hundred different busts and portraits of this emperor alone. The author has obtained some really nice pieces from the reigns of Probus and Aurelian at excellent prices from Frank. It is always a pleasure to visit and share conversation about these emperors and their coins with him at shows.

Frank operates his coin business out of his home and can be seen at shows and by appointment. His phone number is:
