    My Vitellius looks a little different to that group as well. 2015-01-07 01.07.48-3 (550x264).jpg

    Your coin knowledge is an ocean around mine, Bing, so if I'm smart you're oceanically-sized in your intelligence!

    The satisfaction of being 100% correct. ;)

    TBH, I don't know if I would've done so well!

    That's extremely good evidence that my three-in-a-row was a fluke!

    But I have a suggested prize, before I get the next one wrong: you can tell me whether my Titus denarius in this thread is actually rare or not:

    The Jupiter reverse is not rare for Titus Caesar if the obverse reads 'VESPASIANVS'. However, yours is the much rarer shortened variant with 'VESPASIAN'. An extremely rare coin! Frequency rating of R2 in RIC.
