Few coins have Indiction dates. The series of numbers cycles back on itself so the S does not mean year 6 but Indiction 6 which Sear lists as the...
That new one is going to be hard to upgrade. We all have our 'things'. Mine is a preference for details and legend on flan over perfectly unworn...
This might be the time to mention the one 'better' than these late asses. That is the semis of Trajan Decius. I'd really like to sell mine...
