<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ambr0zie, post: 7632118, member: 80952&quot;]Just realized I have recently added a worn Vespasian denarius too.</p><p>Not rare but it ticked some boxes and the price was very decent.</p><p>After winning it my initial reaction was &quot;OK, what was I thinking&quot;.</p><p>But actually I&#039;m pleased with it. The portrait clearly illustrates Vespasian&#039;s classic grumpiness and the reverse, although very worn, is interesting and it&#039;s not one of the standard ones - somebody seated or standing.</p><p>I am not hunting coins in excellent conditions as I can&#039;t afford them. I try to avoid extremely worn coins but if they can be attributed, they still have appeal, they are interesting for me and the price is right, I don&#039;t refuse such a coin.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1312927[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Vespasian AD 69-79.
