I really enjoyed this thread - these RR AEs are quite new to me - I just got my first big one last week - a pretty poor specimen, but 28 grams for $9.99 I figured it might be a good way to start. I think it's genuine, I hope. My photos don't make the lettering any easier to see - tilted in certain light it is somewhat easier to see. RomanRepublic Æ As L. Licinius Murena (169-158 B.C.)
