<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 3956762, member: 97383"]Curtis, I missed you thread yesterday, so here are my three favorites <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />: #3 the Caracalla brass tetrassarion. This coin is a gem, beautiful die work, well centered, & in choice condition. Caracalla has an unusual forlorn expression, someone who is very troubled by his past.

[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 3956762, member: 97383"]Curtis, I missed you thread yesterday, so here are my three favorites :D: #3 the Caracalla brass tetrassarion. This coin is a gem, beautiful die work, well centered, & in choice condition. Caracalla has an unusual forlorn expression, someone who is very troubled by his past. A gifted celator did this portrait ;). My 2nd favorite is #4, the Aelius denarius because of the stunning portrait, My 3rd favorite is #6, the Hadrian denarius because the portrait is excellent & the reverse interesting. Four Julian II AE1 coins have been posted on this thread, so I might as well post my example again :). I bought my example 13 years ago, & at the time it was the most expensive Roman bronze in my collection :shame:. I could sell it today for a handsome profit :smuggrin:.
