    Ill be gone for the weekend to enjoy my other hobby, comic books at a local con. So I wanted to post a coin.

    For some reason, the Vesta Lucilla was a curse for me. 2 I bought from Lanz that went "missing" in NY customs, my last one I got had a ragged flan but good details, it went towards the trade of the Galba tet.

    Only reason was because I got this one. Finally a cursed free Vesta reverse and best of all, nearly EF condition.

    So this made me very happy when it arrived.

    Very nice, especially since it is curse free. I have a new coin I may need your help IDing, since it has a female figure on the obverse, but I will wait till next week. Good luck at the comic-con.

    Hopefully it isnt a LRB from the 400s, those are tricky.

    A very sharp denarius! Have a great weekend, Mat - I love going to shows. Can't wait till the next one, which I think is Baltimore sometime around Halloween.

    The representation of the simpulum on that coin is very nice.

    Definitely nicer! Great addition Mat. I always had a hard time leaving action figures in the box.
