The joys of finding coins in the rough, in person, un slabbed, not on the internet. I saw this today at a local coin show. This Titus as is very...
II.2 is covered well in Woytek’s recentish monograph on Trajan. As I recall, he actually is writing II.2 so one would expect most of the material...

Grading this way is pointless. The only reason to aggregate individual descriptors this way is to justify desirability/asking price, but few...
Tough to say what the price will be. eBay is not a bad way to go. If you can get it into a cng auction, you will do well. Post a link here if...
