Very kind of you. Your examples aren't exactly shabby, and your Justinians are better than any of mine. I bought it from a vcoins dealer, later...
By the way, www.wildwinds.com is a halfway decent place for ID'ing stuff. The pictures are generally rather small.
I'm voting for the Alexandrian Vitellius, quite a hard one to find.
The .pdf is $30-something,by the way, and is really cool to have for quick reference. Annoyingly, Sear Roman Coins and their Values IV (and...

Aha, so I was right! The bug eyes gave it away. Besides the initial Persian campaign, I always thought a Samosata attribution was strange; why...
I'm a bit rusty, but I think it is.

That's a pleasant present! Is it from the Antioch/Samosata mint? I have pretty few Valerians; most of mine are Sestertii. I think the previous...
Secret Saturnalia was a success. It also has the advantage of starting on the 17th. I'm hoping everyone here has a great Secret Santa.
