Yea, I've been a nice streak of late. When you already have all the common types of a speciality there's nothing left but rarities and interesting...
Everyone has probably seen the Venus reverse type struck for Julia under her father Titus. My most recent acquisition is a much rarer Vesta type...

Yea, this is a tough one. Good luck!
I have another 'Vitellian' like portrait of Vespasian on its way to me. Which one is it? [ATTACH] Once the coin is in hand in a few days I'll...
It looks OK to me. The Rome mint during Titus' reign was producing some very neat and fine denarii. That one is well within the style range.

If that coin was recently up for auction I somehow missed it and would've paid big bucks to acquire it! However, I'm glad the piece went to a...
Wow! Super rare with left facing portrait and a reverse legend lacking 'P P'. It's not often someone posts a Titus denarius variety I do not have...
I have bought coins from both dealers and had no issues.They are reputable and if there is concern about fakes being sold by either one of them,...
Better late than never. :)
A lovely addition Mikey. Worth every penny!
