<p>[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 2955220, member: 31620"]Well I have had a few days off and am back to my new purchases in 2018. The first on the list is ex SteveX6 and one that he used to rib me about knowing that it was a symbol pair that I didn't have. Every time I added a new pair he would ask "no dog-serpent example yet?" and I would smile ad wait patiently for an example to come my way. I didn't expect it to be his. Now I will smile and think of Steve whenever I look at this coin. I can only wish him well with everything that he is going through. I did raise a glass to him this Christmas.</p><p><br /></p><p><b> L Papius Denarius Serratus</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Obv:– Head of Juno Sospita right, wearing goat skin tied under chin.
