Great new Vespasian, Gil-galad ... ya gotta love dem eagles!!

I don't have an AE example, but I do have my good ol' AR baby ...

 

Nice one Steve. Thanks for the comments guys. Post those coins if you have em'!!

 

I still don't own any denarii with an eagle like that, nice.

 

I don't have any Vespasian denarii either.

 

I have plenty of Vesp denarii, but none with the eagle. However, here is one of my favorites:

My favorite---and only--- Vespasianus. The COS/TRP seem to suggest being struck in 74 AD.

 

I like that example Mikey. GIVE IT TO ME!

 

Sorry Bing, I promised it to a 'medical professional' (for obvious reasons).

Besides, you don't play fair---you never share!!

 

dang GG...a 4 coin streak, keep on streakin!



here's my only vespasian...

 

Actually it's a 6 coin streak. Some of them might be on the previous thread page.

 

Nice coins everyone. My only Vespasian, but no eagle.
