There seems to be some confusion in RIC regarding the type of wreath. The description for RIC 1399 calls it an 'oak wreath', but the plate coin is...
Fantastic coin @TheRed! Well worth the wait!
The fact you can list other neat coins along with your MA Legionary denarii shows that you had a very good coin year indeed. Congrats!
Fantastic portrait!
Some great bargains there, especially the Vespasian!
I can't really argue with your #1 pick and all the coins are very good choices. A very satisfying numismatic year for you!
Great list Doug with good reasons for each coin to be on it. I particularly like the AP As and the c/m Claudius.
I wholeheartedly agree, which is why I am perfectly content with my F Judaea Capta. It may not have a 'wow' factor, but it's honestly genuine.

Sadly, I don't think too many of these high end Judaea Capta bronzes escape without some 'enhancements'. Recently I was on the lookout for an...
Agreed. Although the series is very fanciful with some of the history, it's compellingly presented with a cracking good script. One of Peter...
Yes, we are having a nice nerdy PM discussion about this wonderful coin! My one concern was the last numeral/dot in the obverse legend. However, I...
I wonder how such a piece could be provenanced exactly to the Jewish War? The ones found at Masada would be easier to provenance correctly,...
I was wondering how you made out with the storm. Hopefully not a harbinger of what is to come! Perhaps an appropriate coin for you today is a...
Since you are collecting by Hendin number, I'll allow it. ;)
