@Bing Thank-you for your kinfd comment, Bing, but you might have to educate a student on the term "Julian II Nulls", please?
I have two busts of Julian II that appear to have the same characteristics (i.e.facial features - individually) but look like two different...
@IdesOfMarch01 - Thank you for the write-up. VITELLIUS - Concordia 69 AD RIC 1. Rome 73 [ATTACH]
@Johndoe2000$ No. I don't have specific 'condition goals'. I guess my 'goal' is to cover those coins that are regarded as being representative of...
@Lunchbox John Thanks for that. I actually have an 1863 (Var.2) Copper-Nickel, Oak Wreath with Shield (holed) but I wasn't aware of the variation...

@Ed Snible and @LaCointessa Thank-you for your comments. Ed, I feel that you are so close. I like your suggested coins, but there is no 'rabbit'...
No thoughts about cleaning it yet. A light brushing (toothbrush) hasn't dislodged any green powder, so I am not worried about BD. I'd still like...
I have this coin that I need help to identify, please? Does anyone know what it is? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Well spotted. I think it may be. Some of the Legend appears that way too.
