That Augustus eagle is nearly as nice as your Claudius, I think the coins Tiberius minted in honour of Augustus are nicer than a lot of Augustus lifetime issues.

 

I actually got those as a pair. The local shop had me help id and price a lot of ancients and sold these to me, discounted. Originally i was supposed to be a Corinthian stater but someone snatched it up before I could. So they put these 2, and a decent Agrippa aside for me.

Much nicer than this one, condition aside.

 

Good buy I would visit them more often.

 

I was just about to write exactly the same comment! The detail in the eagle's wings on the reverse make this a very visually appealing coin. Roman engravers seemed to have a knack for capturing evocative likenesses of eagles.

 

congrats RG!

 

Thanks

 

Congrats Randy! Fantastic accomplishment! Well done. Man, you are starting to rack up some completed sets...what a great feeling! Now you have to start some more cool sets to complete... big fun!
