Nope. That one is a lost cause, IMHO.
Changed my mind. I vote for Bing’s FORTUNA RED as the mystery coin reverse. But that means the obverse could be Claudius II Gothicus...
My guess is Annona as well. But it’s just a guess. [ATTACH]
Any Otho that shows decent detail in that sweet wig of his is a winner.
I see DN AR as well. DOMINUS NOSTER AR[CADIUS]. I love that facing bust. One of the redeeming features of some fairly ugly late Roman coinage.

Votes are running dead even. You people are no help! :joyful:
TOP coin’s provenance is Incitatus Coins, a VCoins dealer. BOTTOM coin’s provenance is Numismatica Tintinna, an unsold lot from a Dea Moneta...

I don’t think anyone in this thread is alleging that anything improper has occurred. I think we are all just commenting upon how nice it would be...
I recently bought what was, for me, an expensive coin—about $650. It’s a much sought after and desirable type. I will be less cryptic in December...
