<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 2981704, member: 57495&quot;]I&#039;ve wanted these common but iconic Vespasian denarii for some time, and was glad to finally check the boxes off with these two examples.&nbsp; One&#039;s a late 2017 purchase I&#039;m only sharing now, and the other is my first 2018 arrival.&nbsp; The double capricorn posthumous issue is in much higher grade, but the Judaea Capta came at a nice price and to my mind has a lot of eye appeal as well.&nbsp; I also really love the old collection toning that both of them have.&nbsp; Please feel free to post anything appropriate!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]733736[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>VESPASIAN</b></p><p>AR Denarius. 3.05g, 18.4mm.
