[QUOTE="thejewk, post: 3659309, member: 100136"]Considering the fact that I want my collection to be interesting, varied and offer a representative slice of what circulated during the time period in question (Nerva-Antonines in my case), it seemed essential to me that I add at least a few coins that fall into the 'limes'/fourree/unofficial/unexplained area. I don't, however, want to spend much on the endeavour. Thankfully this popped up on Vcoins a week or two ago, and landed on my doorstep yesterday for a grand total of £15 delivered to the UK from the US. [ATTACH=full]983700[/ATTACH] It's a small coin at about 17mm, and seriously corroded, but captures a surprising amount of detail and lettering, and the style is completely accurate as far as I can see. I most definitely want an official coin of this type in my collection, and think that this mysterious 'limes' will be a nice counterpart. Anyone have any thoughts about it? Please share your ugly but interesting coins.[/QUOTE]
