[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 1646978, member: 42773"]I love the LRBs that are struck on oversize flans as you get the complete details of the coin. And that one is well-struck with beautiful, smooth surfaces. As far as the head goes, I know that after Diocletian the celators were less and less concerned with accurate depiction of the emperors, but there are still discernibly distinct styles that occur from era to era, and from mint to mint.
