<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3248406, member: 74968&quot;]For the last year I have been looking for the dynastic reverse Vitellius denarius. I have missed several in different auctions throughout the year but finally got one a few minutes ago in the Heritage auction. The portrait is worn (the coin is graded VG) but the legends are rather nice for a coin in this grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>Needless to say the slab will have a brief meeting with my hammer after it arrives.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not only is this an interesting denarius in its own right it also happens to represent a landmark for my collection. This Vitellius completes my second complete&nbsp; 12 Caesars set in silver. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Please post your coins of Vitellius or your favourite coins from the 12 Caesars.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Vitellius (AD 69). AR denarius (18mm, 2.95 gm, 5h). NGC VG 4/5 - 4/5.</b> Rome.
