<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bcuda, post: 4439649, member: 105389&quot;]I received two coins in the mail today. </p><p><br /></p><p>This one was a very pleasant addition to my collection. </p><p>It truly looks nicer in hand than the pics and the most important part</p><p>is I really love it !</p><p>[USER=42773]@John Anthony[/USER] had this to say about it and I could not agree more.</p><p>This example is well-struck, barely circulated with pristine surfaces, and the flan was large enough to capture the full imprint of both dies. (I love it when that happens). Lady luck definitely smiled on this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1110204[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Julia Mamaea, AD 222-235</p><p>AR denarius, 21mm, 3.2g, 6h; Rome mint.</p><p>Obv.: IVLIA MAMAEA AVG; Draped bust right.</p><p>Rev.: FELICITAS PVBLICA; Felicias standing front, head turned left, legs crossed, holding caduceus and leaning left arm on column.</p><p>Reference: RIC Ivb, 335.</p><p><i>From the Sallent Collection, ex-JAZ Numismatics.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Next up is my very first Tetradrachm and I must say it is just stunning. </p><p>I can see me adding a lot more of this kind of coin to my collection real soon.</p><p>I love the size of it seems to stand out very well in my collection. </p><p>It is slabbed and will need a jail break soon.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1110214[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have not researched this coin at all. </p><p>[USER=97383]@Al Kowsky[/USER] had this to say about it.</p><p>The coin is in Choice Ex Fine condition &amp; has lovely toning.
