Message:: [QUOTE="RaceBannon, post: 1936136, member: 25357"]There is a striking similarity between my Vitellius and your Otho, not just in terms of style but how the two have worn to expose the core. I think it's a good hypothesis that they are from the same faker/mint. The tipping point that sold me on this particular coins was its provenance. Provenance:Ex. Collection of Professor J.E.Seaver. Professor Seaver taught ancient history at the University of Kansas and was a keen opera lover, hosting his own radio show on the subject for nearly 60 years. He was a passionate collector of ancient coins and often used them to aid his teaching. ArtAncient Limited has been fortunate enough to acquire a large portion of the Seaver collection. A short biography of Prof. Seaver, including a photograph of the man, is available to the new owner upon request. I found that interesting and have requested Professor Seaver's Bio.[/QUOTE]
