Nice photo!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That is quite an impressive piece of gold [USER=115171]@Hrefn[/USER] !&nbsp; Thanks for sharing.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes the toning is quite prominent even in hand. I was very pleasantly surprised by the eye appeal in hand when I received it. Nice Faustina I bronze!&nbsp; Thanks for sharing and for the kind words. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you RC! I have made a note on the narrower date range and I have bookmarked this post. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yours is a thread worthy reply IMO and I always appreciate it when fellow collectors take the time to share such detailed knowledge in another posters thread. Many thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for the kind words Al!&nbsp; Also, you should never worry about posting such a stunning coin too many times. That is a true beauty of a coin and fits well with the rest of your excellent collection. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for the kind words [USER=90248]@Spaniard[/USER] !</p><p>Nice example.&nbsp; I knew you would have something to add here with your excellent Nerva-Antonine sub-collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know that RIC lists this coin as common but I have had my eye out for the right lifetime issue for quite some time and anecdotally I find that they are not up for auction all that often. Of course that could just be because I was overlooking some of the ones that didn’t catch my eye. The lifetime issues are certainly dwarfed by the immense Diva output. To me this isn’t necessarily a bad thing because I think the posthumous issues have some of the more interesting types.&nbsp; I am happy to have this nice lifetime example to go with my much loved posthumous issues showing her temple. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1317955[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1317956[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
