[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 7803472, member: 80952"]Truly beautiful coin(s) - I like the one posted by [USER=4298]@Cucumbor[/USER] as well. Its (minor) flaws are not a minus for me. And I am sure you think the same. I don't afford ancient coins in UNC condition, but even if I were rich, I would buy coins in similar condition - with STRONG details, very much there but with a touch that shows me that this coin was used in ancient times for its primary purpose. This is one of the things that brought me to this area of numismatics. Quite a shame this stopped after a few centuries. One of the reasons I don't collect medieval coins. I don't have a Titus bronze that could match yours, however the first Sestertius I added in my collection is from Titus - as Augustus. Just love it, especially the portrait. [ATTACH=full]1340150[/ATTACH] P.S. both coins displayed above deserve a place in the Victory thread [URL]https://www.cointalk.com/threads/victoria-is-running.384300/[/URL][/QUOTE]
