    This denarius of Vespasian depicts his two sons, Titus and Domitian, who would both go on to become Emperor:

    The reverse of this Trajan sestertius shows Trajan with three client-kings he's installing as the result of his Parthian war:

    Ah, yes. Thank you, @Chris B. Reminds me...

    German States (Saxony): silver thaler, "3 Brothers" type, 1596-HB, Dresden mint
    [​IMG]
    Obverse: Half-length facing figures of three brothers in circle, head of middle figure divides date, small imperial orb above, titles in legend.
    Reverse: FRAT : ET. DV - CES. SAXON, 13-fold arms with central shield of electoral Saxony breaking legend at bottom.
    Issuer: Electorate of Saxony, in the names of brothers Christian II, Johan Georg I, and August, sons of Elector Christian I from the Albertine line.
    Specifications: Silver, 27.06 g. Dresden mint.
    Grade: PCGS Genuine - VF Details (98 - Damage), cert #39640161.
    Reference: Numista-40204, Davenport-9820, MB-314 (also Keilitz/Kahnt-186, Schnee-754, per Künker am Dom.*)
    Provenance: ex-Künker am Dom, Germany, via MA-Shops, 19 May 2020.*
    Notes: the thaler was a large silver coin weighing about an ounce. The thaler was the ancestor of all later dollar and crown-sized coins. In fact, the word "dollar" was derived from "thaler". Thalers usually had elaborate designs and are avidly sought by collectors.
    Comments: I'd collect more thalers if I could, but they can be pricey, and "thalermania" is not a condition I could afford! But I'm happy to have this one. I've always liked this "Three Brothers" type, even when the boys look a tad spooky. (Especially when they look a tad spooky.) This is an attractively toned example, too.

    Indeed, they do have a creepy sort of "Addams Family" quality to them. Which is precisely why I found them appealing! (In a creepy kind of way.) :vamp:

    I used to like and use VCoins a lot (still do). But MA-Shops is even better, for the sort of things I like.

    Yeah, there's a free endorsement for you. Well deserved.

    @panzerman interesting thread and some great coins. I wondered how long before Christ was posted. This coin from CNG is not mine. I found it while trying to ID a misattributed coin I bought.

    I always go the auction route. However, I have gotten some really nice coins from ma-shops site. Quality/ prices where better in cases then auction route. Just picked up a AV 1/8 Macedon Stater ND/ Philip II yesterday.
