<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 3134924, member: 85693&quot;]Thank you for that information, Roman Collector - I see I was off on my BMCRE attribution - I will correct accordingly. </p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with you on Faustina I&#039;s coins - I love &#039;em too.&nbsp; The variety alone is astonishing, and they are affordable and abundant and some of them are quite beautiful.&nbsp; I recently got my first &quot;lifetime&quot; issue, also with a peacock - it is in pretty deplorable condition, but it was &quot;budget&quot; - $10. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is an example of a &quot;budget&quot; purchase where the type outweighed the aesthetics - I wanted a lifetime issue, but they are pretty scarce and usually not budget-priced.&nbsp; If this had been a more common posthumous issue, with the ragged flan and harsh cleaning, I probably would not have bought it. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]800362[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]800363[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Faustina I the Elder </b></p><p><b>Wife of Antoninus Pius</b></p><p><b>(c. 138-141 A.D.)
