    I'm conducting a die study of Farsuleius. If convenient, could
    members post any examples they have? Omit any bought at
    public auction, Vcoins or Ebay because I already have these.

    Carthago Does this look infected to you?

    Welcome to the board Dick. I don't own an example, yet. I hope you can participate in some of the RR discussions here as I know we would all benefit.

    Hope to see you at NYINC though I know it's still tentative. ;)

    I have one, but it's from eBay 2010 (Numismatik Lanz, 17th May), so I guess you have it already.

    Welcome to CoinTalk!

    Can you tell us about Farsuleius?

    I am guessing he was a Roman moneyer in the Republic days?

    Carausius Brother, can you spare a sestertius?

    Dick,

    Welcome to CoinTalk @research . Unfortunately, I don't have an example of Farsuleius to share. I will echo the sentiments above that the Roman Republican collectors here would welcome your participation.

    Thanks to all who welcomed me, and those who responded to
    Farsuleius. Alas, no new examples have emerged yet.
