<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Meat man, post: 25664617, member: 135271&quot;]I recently upgraded my Fausta portrait coin. The old one had a provenance to the Dattari Collection, but this one features a better portrait IMO, is struck on a better flan, and has a nice patina for greater overall eye appeal.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1641505[/ATTACH] </p><p style="text-align: center"><i>FAUSTA as Augusta, AD 324-326</i></p> <p style="text-align: center"><i>AE3 (20.76mm, 3.61g, 1h)</i></p> <p style="text-align: center"><i>Struck AD 326.
