    20160811_154231.jpg 20160811_154201.jpg I bought this one and the one below early in the year as a set, AE AS Claudius Minerva advancing, 28mm, 10.1gm, and below a lot more expensive and rare Domitian version of Claudius advancing on his restitution issue AE AS Rome 81-82 AD, Sear 2899, 9.3gm. 20160811_154044.jpg 20160811_154105.jpg This next Sestertius of Hadrian a recent buy, was bought for portrait like the Pius Apollo, although signs of corrosion still has good portrait detail, Rome 126 AD, Neptune foot on prow, RIC 635, 22.3gm, 20161213_164121.jpg 20161213_170234.jpg
    And number 10 my newest acquisition, Titus 79 AD AR Denarius, been chasing one for a while, love the detailed portrait, Sear 2509, 3.41gm. 6614a.jpg 6614b.jpg
    Looking forward to seeing more of your coins, as they don't get much better than what you guys have got.

    What a fine expressive portrait on the Titus, with his stubble beard.

    You're being too humble, those are some very impressive pieces! What your 2016 haul of coins lacks in quantity it makes up for in quality. The restitution Claudius in particular is really something special.
