robfromshasta Valued Member United States 79 Posts	Posted 11/30/2012 9:53 pm Here is a new one for this newbie I picked up in the $10 tray at my local shop. Anybody have info or stories on this coin? Was it a good value? Does it "count" towards building a 12 Caesars collection? (please forgive the blurry cell phone picture, I need to invest in a new camera) Report this Post to the Staff

Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 11/30/2012 10:06 pm That's not a bad price for the coin. It looks a bit over-cleaned, but still not a bad price. I suggest shooting another photo of the coin because it is blurry and out of focus. Thus hard to see the details. Try using macro if you have it. Report this Post to the Staff
Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 11/30/2012 10:09 pm This is a Roman Provincial coin. I suppose you could include this in a 12 Caesar collection. Although, I myself am trying to build a collection of the rulers from Roman Imperial coins. Report this Post to the Staff

robfromshasta Valued Member United States 79 Posts	Posted 12/01/2012 03:59 am Thanks, Gil, Eng, and Bing... I read up a little on Augustus and his visit to Iberia. That's one of the nice things about these Roman coins, a person can look up the coin and find out the history behind it, and how events like the Roman occupation of places like Spain shaped future history.
