Yes, and it did not help that later coins tend to be smaller in diameter than the dies so this coin is perfectly centered and missing a lot of the...
I was interested in these a few years back and never remember them being associated with the Nezak Hun coin as shown by TIF above. We called them...
Glad to see this nice coin but even gladder to see you make the proper ID of it as a Post-Reform radiate and not fall into the trap calling it a...

I have not warmed up to RR copies enough to trust them but I like the denarius. Not rare? Possibly, but CNG shows 5 in their past sales...
