    A coin I did not expect to find arrived today. The coin is "only" in VF condition, but it is well centered.

    This one went with a few others in my coin case:

    You can see where the missing coin in this set goes:

    Wow! Well done... very nice RR's. I love just that amount of wear... you can enjoy the artistry and know that several other people transacted them too. Very nice addition to your collection!

    Wonderful group!!! I love your enthusiasm (obsession?:D) to complete a 'series'....and I love the the 'stylistic' variations between and among each so easily identifiable as a 'group'. Congrats @rrdenarius !!!!:woot::woot:

    Oh yeah, my example of a solitary 'sweet sixteen party', with the 'barred X type' (and disturbing arm out of the abdomen thingy):

    You know, in JB's thread, Doug was saying that collectors who wanted a set of XVI denarii would probably pay premiums for the scarcer types, and I thought, "Who the heck is putting together a set like that?" And here you are, lol.
