Perhaps Flavian denarii appear more worn because they circulated longer and not because of their metallic composition? I find your theory...
Great list Mat! It's hard for me to choose favourites, but the Tiberius and Vitellius stand out. Awesome coins!
That's an excellent price for that denarius. A great bargain. About Flavian denarii wearing faster because of a higher silver content - I know...
It's always nice when you have a year where you can't pick just 10 top coins - it has to be 11!

What a lovely coin JB! I used to have turtles as a kid and would love to have one of these!
Oh, I had no idea I had to turn on a notification to receive them. I don't see anywhere in my profile where there is an option to do so. Am I over...
What an awesome coin! JSTOR is another wonderful resource. If you ever have issues accessing an article from there PM me. ;)
