<p>[QUOTE="Orfew, post: 3417059, member: 74968"]Though this denarius is quite rare that is not the primary reason I bought it. I took one look at the portrait and that was enough. The legends are full and readable and all of the devices are present and clear. The reverse has a rare legend ending in CENS POT PP. I had this on my watch list for a few weeks from MA-Shops. I thought the asking price was a bit hight so I made an offer and the seller accepted! The worst someone can say is no.
