<p>[QUOTE=&quot;happy_collector, post: 7561123, member: 100070&quot;]Nice coins and writeup, [USER=75937]@Roman Collector[/USER] !&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Brockage coins are cool-looking, especially when portraits are shown on both sides. My other collecting area is modern error coins. Therefore, I have a special love of brockage errors. Sadly, my &quot;earliest&quot; brockage is only an 1819 George III... too &quot;new&quot; for the CT ancient section.</p><p><br /></p><p>Instead, here is a provincial Faustina II I picked up earlier this year. Similar to your example, mine is also from Thrace. I like the early hairstyle on the coin. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1303675[/ATTACH]</p><p>Faustina II Ӕ 25mm.
