<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 2977100, member: 75937&quot;]Online research this morning on the Faustina II dupondius.</p><p><br /></p><p>It appears to be much scarcer than RIC would imply.

It has to be scarce, if not rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone know of other examples online?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
