    Seventeen counting the Antiqua in the mail. I'm trying to put together an entire MA legionary series, but I believe I'm only half way there. Several of CT posters have me in mind when they see one for sale or auction. That's been greatly appreciated.

    As I recall there were some fakes made in the past to fill in numbers Antony passed over. Do you know anything about this? Have any?

    I've heard this, but I do not have any. I saw a Leg I for sale a couple of weeks ago, but it appeared someone just smoothed over the number in order to make it Leg I. I think Andrew McCabe may have some insight. He has an extensive collection of MA Legionary denarii. I drool every time I see some of his posts.

    It's one of the worst but still an scarce Chortis Speculatorium!
    Believe me, much better in hands...:bored:

    My wallet called and said you guys/gals should stop showing this stuff. Every time he has some new friends, you guys force me to take them away.
