<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3556248, member: 74968&quot;]All 3 of these coins were purchased from Manfred Olding Munzhandlung on MA Shops. I did not have examples of these coins before so these will fill out my Vespasian collection very nicely. They are examples of coins I have wanted. The extra incentive was the provenance. They are from the Reusing Schurer collection. Some more information on the provenance can be found in the first post of this excellent thread started by [USER=80783]@Julius Germanicus[/USER] </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/majestic-nerva-sestertius-fortvna-avgvst.336333/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/majestic-nerva-sestertius-fortvna-avgvst.336333/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/majestic-nerva-sestertius-fortvna-avgvst.336333/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Vespasian 72-73</p><p>AR Denarius</p><p>3,24 g.</p><p>Obv: IMP CAES VESP AVG PM COS IIII; Head laureate right</p><p>Rev: VICTORIA AVGVSTI; Victoria stg r ; crowning standard and holding palm.</p><p>RIC 362 Cohen 618</p><p>Ex: Reusing Schürer collection.</p><p>Purchased from Manfred Olding Munzenhandlung June 4, 2019</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I love the portrait on this one.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]945280[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Vespasian 77-78</p><p>AR Denarius </p><p>3,19 g. </p><p>Obv: Laureate head r; IMP CAESAR VESPASIANUS AVG</p><p>Rev: Mars standing l with spear and trophy; COS - VIII</p><p>Ex: Reusing Schürer collection</p><p>RIC 937 Cohen 125</p><p>Purchased from Manfred Olding Munzenhandlung June 4, 2019</p><p><br /></p><p>I have wanted the Mars with trophy type for a while and this one will do nicely.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]945281[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Titus 80-81 For Divus Vespasianus.</p><p>3,10 g. </p><p>Obv: Head laureate r; DIVVS AVGVSTVS VESPASIANVS</p><p>Rev: Capricorns 2 back to back supporting shield inscribed SC, below globe</p><p>Catalog:RIC 357 Cohen 497</p><p>Ex: Reusing Schürer collection</p><p>Purchased from Manfred Olding Munzenhandlung June 4, 2019</p><p><br /></p><p>Though it is quite worn on the reverse I have been looking for the large shield variant of this coin for a while. Notice that the shield with the SC inscribed is larger than on many other examples of this type. Also, I wanted a divvs type for Vespasian.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]945282[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
