<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 4492990, member: 74968&quot;]Well I bid on 4 last night but only won one coin. It is an interesting one however. It is a rare variant for Vespasian that shows an upright grain ear on the reverse. I already own 2 of these. On is still on the way from Jesus Vico (It has been a few months now). Anyway I really like the type and the provenance is a nice bonus. This coin was part of the &quot;Morris &quot; collection auctioned off by Heritage over the last several months or so.</p><p><br /></p><p>I really like the portrait on this one and it nice to add another coin from this collection. This is either my 3rd or 4th &quot;Morris Collection&quot; coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to post your favourite Vespasian.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rome Mint, 77-78 AD</p><p>RIC 939 (R). BMC 203.
