Its not a C in "AVCVSTA", but a G.

Nice coin all the same.

 

Very nice coin!

 

Thanks & I changed the C to G.

 

n/p, some letters have double uses in roman legends. But not c/g, lol.

 

Very nice even wear!

 

Another nice addition

 

Nice. Good condition

 

Great lookin' coin ... congrats on all of your new coin purchases (you really went on a splurge, eh?)



Sadly, I don't have an example of Faustina Senior (man, I need to buy more coins!!)

 

I have a few of this lady, but this is perhaps my favorite. RIC 339a (Antoninus Pius):
