That is a nice one. Left facers are often reversed copies and your legend includes a backwards C so I would guess the idea was Tetricus I...
While researching a question I had from another CT discussion I ran across an article online that I considered worthwhile....
Congratulations on the great addition. I fail to understand the NGC surface downgrade to 3/5. The reverse here is really nice for these. Not...
Those are five really wonderful obverses. Which RR issues had the best reverses? The Plautius Plancus would be one to consider but I don't know...
