[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 2715263, member: 31620"]Well my Trier has arrived. As you can see these coins come with two varieties of harstyle. Severus Alexander has posted a wonderful example of the more elaborate version above. Mine has a much simpler hairstyle. This is a common enough coin but I haven't seen too many that have manitained the majority of the silvering especially on the reverse which is almost completely silvered. There are a few minor hard green surface blobs which I don't find too distracting. The sharp details on both sides captured my attention.
