<p>[QUOTE="benhur767, post: 2988498, member: 36818"]Cool Vitellius. Worn coins have character. I like that you have multiple collecting goals that you can move between depending on your budget and circumstances. These are all interesting sets that you're working on. I have also have a budget Vitellius that was included in a group lot. I bought the lot just for one coin, and it wasn't this one! If I ever decide to build a Twelve-Caesars lowball set, I can't do much better/worse than to start with this coin. If someone was able to build a Twelve-Caesars set consisting only of low-grade culls from group lots, I would find that very interesting. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie76" alt=":playful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Here's the coin, same type as yours:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]736714[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Vitellius.</b> AR denarius, Rome mint, struck 16 April – 22 December 69 CE; 18mm, 2.30g, 6h.
