[QUOTE="Mat, post: 1412769, member: 21445"]Lately I have decided to change my direction of "buying what I like" with ancients. With some focusing on lead seals, fallen horseman and whatever else I decided to focus on building a set Lucilla & Crispina ARs. Both dont have a ton of reverse types to gather like Faustina's & Domna. Plus I havent seen anyone compile a set of them like Plautilla & Domna. I might throw in a AE of each too since they arent too expensive. I havent decided if I wanna add minor differences to the same reverse types like Concordia w/cornucopia & without cornucopia and others with Vesta torch vs scepter. To me its too much $ for something trivial. I already have a Lucilla & Crispina from earlier purchases and below are 2 additions to the Lucilla side. Both are fairly scarce reverse wise, especially the Diana Lucifera. I doubt I will look for the "Standing Right" of Diana as its much scarcer. My ebay bucks paid for the top one, which was also tough to photograph cause its darkly toned and glossy feeling to the touch like a brand new penny from a roll but it isnt waxed. Diana reverse was a surprise win for me. [IMG]http://i39.tinypic.com/14dd0nc.jpg[/IMG] Lucilla (164 - 183 A.D.) AR Denarius O: LVCILLA AVGVSTA, draped bust right. R: IVNO REGINA, Juno standing left, holding patera and sceptre, peacock at her feet. Rome 19mm 3.4g RIC 772; RCV 41; RCV 5487 [IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/9ir7zc.jpg[/IMG] Lucilla (164 - 183 A.D.) AR Denarius O: LVCILLAE AVG ANTONINI AVG F, Draped bust right. R: DIANA LVCIFERA, Diana standing left holding torch with both hands. Rome 17.5mm 3.4g RIC 762 RSC 14 Scarce[/QUOTE]
