And I'll mention that despite looking like a zombie, my Vitellius still looks better than Goldie Hawn in the photos Stevex6 is trying to scare us with.
I totally agree with ya, Bannon => that's a very sweet double-play (it's a nasty lookin' fourree and a cool lookin' Vitellius ... great compromise!!)
I also acquired a fouree, simply because i didn't have one (no current photo) and I have a few lay-a-way coins pending.... Love the posts!!! Here's one I recently acquired that Matt might appreciate :Bil Antonianus of Magnia Urbica, Wife of Carinus;....and a 'combo' Antonianus of Aurelian with Vabalthus---two for one deal hole filler..
If your saying thats goldie on the left your wrong , none of the features are even close , especially the chin
Nice and scarce Magnia Urbica, don't have that one yet or the Aurelian/Vabalathus dual bust. The Magnia Urbica one I may have trouble getting.
This is my first Marcian. I will definitely be taking a photo of it once I receive. Attribution is on the card.
Interesting pick-ups Gil---I bought those two types a few months ago myself... But since we are posting those in transit, I guess I'll include two I have on lay-a-way with one payment pending later this month...from Forum: Macrianus: Silver Antoninianus (260 AD) Hostilian: AE-27 (251 AD) Well, with all of this and a few small additional purchases, I'm done until about late May....Damn budget!!!
Oh yeah, I might as well post this as well...I have been meaning to add another Republic Denarius and so i bought this Saturninus/Rome mint example last week, 104 BC; Roma and Quadriga.
nice new coins...i looked at that one GG...and two cool guys i don't have MZ. i'm also on the wagon until May.
I'm going on a spending spree right now. Lovin' it for sure. The last coin I don't know what it is going to be. The dealer said he was giving me one.
