Here's an anonymous RR denarius that was sitting in a discount box wondering why nobody loved it. I couldn't find anything wrong with it at all -...
I'm a big fan of any and all furniture types, and I found this very sharp denarius of AP with thunderbolt-over-throne reverse (some sources say...
It's a stunning type, and it possesses so much character and beauty that even some "infuriating flatness" can't hold it down. I would have bought...
