GREAT Denarius @panzerman ! Man, you moved to Silver in a fine VENGEANCE! I have Aelius' As! Roman Imperial Aelius Caesar b. 101CE, d. 138 CE AE As, 26mm, 10.2g, 6h Rome Mint 137 CE Obv: L AELIVS CAESAR; Bare head r. Rev: TR POT COS II, S-C, Fortuna-Spes holding cornucopia and rudder in left hand, flower in r. Ref: RIC II 1065, pg 482 scarce Ex: @John Anthony transient collection
The problem with people used to tremendous big bucks gold, is that when they move onto silver, they find everything cheap and act just as a plague of locusts would. That's pretty unfair to us plebeians This denarius of Aelius' is gorgeous panzerman, congrats Aelius, Denarius - Rome mint, AD 137 L AELIVS CAESAR, bare head right TR POT COS II, Spes standing left holding flower and lifting skirt 3.25 gr Ref : Cohen # 55, RCV # 3977 Q
I have to admit, I really used to miss out by concentrating only on high quality gold. Now, I can get most every emperor/empress/usurper for my collection. I am way behind in Imperial AR coinage....but since I need everything, there are lots of choice coins in upcoming auctions!
Gorgeous denarius @panzerman !!! I have a lower grade example---- a bit like 'Q's but unphotographed at the moment.. Cool As 'AL' !!!!
