@panzerman, a great example of the "closed-mouth" variety. Much friendlier-looking than mine, which is baring its teeth rather aggressively:...
So beautiful! By far the best example I've ever seen.
I have so many Roman Republican coins with Roma on the obverse that I can't pick out just one to post! But here's an Imperial coin I like...
My only coin of Domitia's is the exact same type as @Roman Collector's: Domitian and Domitia, AE 22.7, 93/94 AD, Cilicia, Anazarbus. Obv....

My one Balbinus -- a denarius -- together with a Pupienus denarius with the same reverse design. Balbinus AR Denarius, April-June 238 AD, Rome...

I find this fascinating, and not the least bit surprising given how closely the styles of 3rd Century Roman Provincial coins from Thrace and...
@Gam3rBlake, I know that you've said that you don't really like bronze coins very much, and I generally prefer silver myself, but the fact remains...
That's an extremely nice example. Here's mine, which could definitely use an upgrade: [ATTACH]

I hope you realize that my final comment was a joke! There are many things I admire about FORVM, even though I've never posted there. And, as I...
When I get a chance I'll look up how much I paid for it. Perhaps $200? Just a guess. It has rougher surfaces than I usually like, but it's still a...
