<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Whizb4ng, post: 1957767, member: 54140&quot;]This is the second coin I won in the past Triskeles/VAuction sale. I had been looking for my upgrade for my current Trajan since I didn&#039;t really like the bust on the one I currently had. The original came when I had just started collecting and was buying almost anything that was ancient. I wasn&#039;t truly happy with the coin long term and now I have begun looking for coins that will be with me for many years to come.</p><p><br /></p><p>I find this coin appealing because of its dark green patina as well as the bust of Trajan.&nbsp; Trajan seems very hit and miss for his portraits on his coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>This will most likely be my last coin until my birthday. I am going to try and do some serious saving to try and buy a big coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Trajan. A.D. 98-117. Æ as (27 mm, 10.46 g, 6 h). Rome, ca. A.D. 106/7.</p><p><br /></p><p>IMP CAES NERVAE TRAIANO AVG GER DAC P M TR P COS V P P, laureate bust of Trajan right, wearing aegis</p><p>S P Q R OPTIMO PRINCIPI, S C across field, Roma standing facing, head left, holding Victory and spear; at feet to left, Dacian kneeling in supplication right.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cf.
