fine coins! i bought this recently for $87.00. i thought it was a good price for a Tiberius denarius, even tho it had a sizable chip in it.
My first Ancient purchase fits here, or in the $75 thread since it falls in between at $87, shipped (oddly enough, the same price as the coin in the post right before this one). I still get a thrill each time I pull it from the safe. TRAJAN AR DENARIUS, 114 - 117 C.E. RIC 318, RSC 154, Very Fine, 19.2mm, 3.59 grams Obverse: Laureate draped bust of Trajan to right, IMP CAES NER TRAIANO OPTIMO AVG GER DAC around Reverse: P M TR P COS VI P P SPQR around Fortuna seated to left, holding rudder in right hand and cornucopia in left, FORT RED in exergue
