[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3730594, member: 10461"]Nice portrait and interesting hairstyle. My only Faustina II to date was this rather well-worn denarius. 'Twas what I refer to as a "cheerful cheapo" - an inexpensive but fun coin. [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/rs026-faustinajunior-jpg.628542/[/IMG] Edit- no, come to think of it, I am pretty sure I previously owned a much nicer gVF to EF example that I plucked from a $20 pick bin at the FUN show in the early 2000s, but that was before I "officially" collected ancients, and I have no pictures of it now. That was a fun pick bin. I got five pieces, as I recall. Two were lower grade Republican denarii and three were pretty sharp and higher grade Antonine-era pieces. I had to have [USER=81808]@Aethelred[/USER] ID them for me, as he was my first mentor when it came to ancient coins.[/QUOTE]
