<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roerbakmix, post: 3732423, member: 100731&quot;]Visiting my second coin fair ever in Houten, the Netherlands, my eye fell upon this rather pretty Titus denarius. Although the price is higher than I usually pay for a coin (€50), I really, really liked it for several reasons: 1) the toning is pretty nice, 2) most details are still visible, and 3) the reverse, which shows a curule chair and a wreath on top of it is a nice adition to my republic Regulus denarius. </p><p><br /></p><p>First, the coin. It&#039;s a bit scratched, however, somehow these scratches are not visible with the naked eye, but only when on the photograph. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1000798[/ATTACH] </p><p>Ruler: Titus</p><p>Denomination: Denarius.
