<p>[QUOTE="Justin Lee, post: 3999147, member: 87404"][USER=75937]@Roman Collector[/USER], I have to thank you for my interest in the veiled busts of FI, and it was because of your turning me on to them, when I saw this one in summer I had to add one to my collection. It is like Aidan's but with a different obverse legend break, and, too, the sestertius version of your OP dupondius. I'm excited to see [USER=83175]@akeady[/USER]'s coin, as I've been previously unable to really find others like it, and am excited to see it used a different obverse die (I haven't examined the reverse dies in detail yet (<i>edit: rudder shape and Fortuna drapery look different</i>)). I find your research into this area (and many others) very interesting, thorough, and persuasive towards adding more to my collection. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.
