<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 2247645, member: 74968&quot;]These coins are not in hand yet, but I had to post them. I am very excited to be so close to finishing the 12 Caesars. I now need Titus and Domitian. My Augustus at the moment is just a badly worn copper as, but I will upgrade it to silver when I have finished amassing the 12.</p><p><br /></p><p>First, a worn coin of Galba. What I like about this coin is that the condition of his name on the obverse&nbsp; is one of the best things about this coin. I have a feeling I will upgrade this one sometime in the future.</p><p><br /></p><p>Galba. AD 68-69. AR Denarius. Rome mint. Struck circa July AD 68-January 69.Obv:&nbsp; IMP SER GALBA CAESAR AVG, Laureate head right Rev: DIVA AVGVSTA, Livia standing facing, head left, holding scepter and patera. RIC I 186; RSC 55.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]444186[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Now for the Tiberius. I know this is in rough shape, but I still really like it. I did not want to get the ubiquitous Tribute Penny version so I had to look for the quadriga reverse. No offence to those who like the Tribute Penny, but I did not find it very interesting. The portrait is quite worn, but I like the reverse a lot. The driver and the horses are quite clear and are positioned nicely on the flan.I am also not worried about the darker spots as I bought this from a very reputable dealer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tiberius.
