    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..

    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!!!

    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.
