Fourree: I've never bought a coin sold as one, but NGC said one of my Vitellius denarii was "plated", which would seem to indicate a fourree if...
Neat fourree, and the Aelius seems to have a nicely chunky appearance. (Edit- 33mm? Wow, no wonder. So essentially a sestertius sized piece,...
Exactly. This poll needed a properly nonsensical food option so I could vote (note guacamole inclusion in my latest poll), or at the very least,...
Oh- one other minor detail which might mean nothing: Note on this coin how the left portion of the obverse legends are better struck and more...
I would not be confident in my sole ability to determine authenticity, but once that was independently established and confirmed by trustworthy...

I've been a busy bee, on a bit of a spree... (And I'm a poet and didn't know it.) Expanding my "Box of 20" to a "Box of 25". (I've been using...
