I know the coin is a bit rough around the edges but this is the first one I have seen for sale in the 3 years or so I have been focussing on the Flavians. Feel free to post your uncommon common coins or any coins of Vespasian. Vespasian AR Denarius 71 CE (18mm 3.24g) Obv: Head laureate right; IMP CAES VESP AVG PM Rev: VESTA seated left with simpulum; PON MAX across field RIC: 45; BMC 55; RSC 358 [ATTACH=full]1176808[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
