<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael Stolt, post: 4962064, member: 100445&quot;]I posted these two in my &quot;pending arrivals&quot; thread a while back, but I&#039;m sharing them again with my own photos. </p><p><br /></p><p>First I have this amazing club series denarius, most likely the finest known specimen out on the market.

It is extremely rare with only 7 specimens cited by RPC, out of those 5 are in museums.
