Hot coin!

 

That's a beauty, Cucumbor. Thanks for posting!

 

nice lookin' coins from the "v" man. are all his coins double bust coins?

No, there are a handful of other types, but I guess they're quite rare.

Cucombor: A really beautiful coin. Great condition. What's really impressive is the amount of silver still on the antoninianus. Wow.
