<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 2479417, member: 57495&quot;]When I picked this up I thought the portrait was outstanding and was sure that it would be an across-the-board upgrade to my existing Trajan Decius &#039;Dacia&#039; antoninianus.&nbsp; I knew that the reverse, being typically worn, made this less than a great coin, but now that I&#039;m looking at it together with my original example, I&#039;m realising that I wish I had the reverse of the first with the obverse and condition of the second.&nbsp; This situation sound familiar to any of you?&nbsp; I guess that&#039;s why sometimes we keep the original as well as the upgrade... while we wait for the next one to come along <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie80" alt=":shame:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]523136[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>TRAJAN DECIUS</b></p><p>AR Antoninianus. 4.91g, 21.4mm.
