<p>[QUOTE=&quot;randygeki, post: 1024124, member: 13719&quot;]Thought I could use some luck so i got a denarius with <b>Fortuna </b>on it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Maybe i should have waited to get a nicer one but I like this one, and it was only $16. It seems though I can either get worn coins with a good portrait, or not so worn coins with a portrait I dont like at all with in my price range. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Antoninus Pius, August 138 - 7 March 161 A.D.</p><p><br /></p><p>Silver denarius, RIC III 300, RSC II 383, F, 18.119g, 17.7mm, 180o, Rome mint, 159 - 160 A.D.; obverse ANTONINVS AVG PIVS P P TR P XXIII, laureate head right; reverse FORTVNA COS IIII, Fortuna standing right, cornucopia in left, long rudder on globe in right.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Antoninus was born around 86A.D. to a distinguised family.
