    Nice Trajan, I'm not sick of you posting them. I haven't seen too many of that type. Great pick up.

    I like the coins of Trajan. They are well executed, and they sort of say "I am Trajan prepare to be over informed." ;) trajans18.jpg

    Is Trajan #2 on your list following all the FTR's. I know my largest numbers are Septimius Severus and Julia Domna (I am a community property collector) but really do not know which ruler comes next. My favorite 5 Trajan denarii.

    The expression on Traianus' face on your second denarii is just incredible @dougsmit . Really caught my eye...Realistic and expressive! Excellent coin! Thanks for putting that one out there!

    Hey, here is one from Stevex6. Not a big fan of the bust, but Lizzy the Rhino is cool.

    If Randy bought it, shouldn't Trajan at least be spearing someone?

    Thanks, and great coins all.

    After ftr's, I think it would be Pius (I have 12 now) and 9 coins Augustus. Trajan's tied for 4th with a few others.

    I did get a FTR too :) Nota pretty one, and not one I needed ( a duplicate). I thought the shield had 2 pellets on it based on the sellers pic, but i was wrong :/ Was pretty cheap though.
