Let's see your newest acquisitions!

Here is someone who was #2 on my list. I acquired this fellow a few weeks prior to Otho at basically a stolen price.

For anyone who doesnt know, he was one of the roman empires biggest headaches for decades, even capturing emperor, Valarian I. Only roman emperor to be captured.

Whether he used Valerian as a footstool is doubtful but a fun story thats gone through history.

Finally found a slightly toned 1966 SMS Jefferson to round out my colorful 1966 SMS Set. For some reason the Jefferson was a real stumbling block for me, 1966 Jefferson's just don't acquire color for some reason.

PCGS SP66

 

A new addition. NGC MS67RD 1953 S Lincoln Wheat Ear cent. Looks like a die crack across his forehead

 

Just added this NGC MS67RD 1947 S Lincoln Wheat Ear as well
