[QUOTE="Orfew, post: 4613242, member: 74968"]Very happy to have this one arrive yesterday. I have much admired the radiate statue on rostral column reverse for Vespasian but I was holding out for the rarer variant-the left facing portrait. This first photo of this coin is why one should not judge a coin too quickly based on a seller's photos. I actually like the portrait very much and the reverse is also really interesting. Please post your left facing portraits or any relevant coins. Vespasian AR Denarius 79 CE Obv: Head Laureate left; IMP CAESAR VESPASIANUS AVG Rev: Statue of radiate male figure with spear and parazonium on rostral column; TR POT X Cos VIIII Ric 1066 Purchased from Ebay The first photo is the seller's photo and the second is mine. The coin in hand looks like my photo. [ATTACH=full]1142572[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1142571[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
