<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3630801, member: 74968&quot;]Both of these are scarce coins. I bought the first one because it has a left facing portrait of Vespasian. I like these very much. I bought the second one because it has a minor variation on the reverse-an upright corn ear. I like these small differences between coins. I find them interesting.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Vespasian AR Denarius,</p><p><br /></p><p>3.12g</p><p>Rome mint, 79 AD</p><p>RIC 1069 (R). BMC 248.
