<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bing, post: 1989276, member: 44132&quot;]Although I was pleased enough with my first denarius of MN. Fonteius, I had the opportunity to pick up what I consider an upgrade at a reasonable price a couple of weeks ago.&nbsp; The first images are of my older denarius while the second is the new purchase.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I am uncertain about the attribution of each of these.&nbsp; The first I had attributed as Fonteia 7 while the second I have as Fonteia 8.&nbsp; There is also a Fonteia 8v, and, truth be told, I cannot tell the difference in any of the three.&nbsp; <span style="color: #ff0000">Any insight is appreciated</span>.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure what I might want to do with the first.&nbsp; It&#039;s always so hard to let any go, so I will probably just keep them both.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]355909[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]355910[/ATTACH] </p><p>MN.
