<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2820253, member: 19463&quot;]I would very much prefer that high quality Fine to many of the boring and ugly EF 3/5 coins you see.&nbsp; I do not have a Galba denarius and am holding out for the right one for my tastes --- probably a Spanish mint with really bizarre portrait.&nbsp; Years ago when money was really tight, I got a sestertius that had been carried for years as a pocket piece.&nbsp; I wonder what it looked like when he started the &#039;pocket smoothing&#039;.&nbsp; The seller then dated it to c. October 68.&nbsp; Does anyone know the evidence that allows these to be dated closer than just during his reign?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]662032[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The as came later.&nbsp; The jaw and low price attracted me but it really is not impressive sitting next to any big Galba sestertius.&nbsp; 68-69 was about as big as they got so there are some really impressive Galba, Vitellius and early Vespasians out there.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]662033[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
