Really, I liked them all, but that double strike got my vote - the juxtaposition of the two heads is really freaky. I don't have many Claudius...
An interesting post, with some interesting coins. It took me a while, but I have gotten pretty enthusiastic about Valerian-Gallienus issues. The...
Another very pretty MA as Caesar as, Zumbly... this is making me want to obtain a nice-looking one for my own collection. I definitely could use...
