[QUOTE="Gallienus, post: 8686131, member: 42034"]I've collected 2 aureii so far, one in 2004, the other ca. 2018 or 19. On Panzerman, I believe there is significant medical research that shows that some strenuous physical activity, such as weight-lifting, is very beneficial for health and longevity. Here's one of my two aureii, not particularly high grade but I went for rarity instead. Also at the time, this one was not too much more than a high-end silver denarius and the aureus has much more going for it. [ATTACH=full]1520820[/ATTACH] Rome, Imperial, Otho aureus, rv: Victoria Othonis, mid-April, 69 AD. The spot near the "I" at 6:00 obv. appears to be some sort of old organic material, maybe remains of old leather. Maybe in the future, they can do some sort of molecular analysis. ex-Stack's, 2004, at 13K. I sent the coin to Victor England of CNG for examination and he sent me a letter attesting that it's a very nice piece without problems. He did not charge me for examining it: not even charging me for his insured postage![/QUOTE]
