Sorry I'm late for this party....but I find it interesting that most of us have that 'unfocused' love of coins stretching all periods and types....
Very interesting and quite clear in all regards!!
@Cyrrhus.....Coincidentally, I just ran across an example that depicts Caracalla with a mustache, just like your example, and it was struck at...
My point is that if you buy from a questionable source (I.E one that sells scarce coins at amazing discounts) whether listed as a 'notorious...
