    Fantastic Trajan temple ro1974, I wish I had that in my collection. You have some really great coins. I have a Trajan temple Dupondius, not as good as yours. Rome struck AD 107-108 RIC 11 576. 27mm, 11.81gm, ex CNG 179.jpg

    Congrats, ro-dawg ... great OP-coin (it's a total winner)

    :rolleyes:

    Ummm, is it wrong to post the same three coins that I just posted in your neighbour's thread?

    ... I hope not, because here they come!!

    Ummm, I ordered them differently, so maybe that'll be acceptable?

    => congrats again on adding a sweet 2017 offering to your collection

    Oh, and I think that you have fantastic coin-taste (I always notice your great coins)

    And I was just about to start another Trajan thread; but I agree with you:
    enough Trajan for one day.
