dougsmit Pillar of the Community United States 1549 Posts	Posted 08/08/2012 07:41 am There are not that many double dated coins like this so I always liked this type. Mine is one year older than yours (7/109). Report this Post to the Staff
Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 08/08/2012 07:54 am Really nice example Doug. I see yours has far more legend. Great addition. When I first got it I thought it was rarer then it is, but at the end of the day I think its one of my favorites. Report this Post to the Staff
dougsmit Pillar of the Community United States 1549 Posts	Posted 08/08/2012 08:40 am It is a good coin to be a favorite. The style is pleasing. It is struck from good metal. It is large and impressive. They are not rare but probably played an important role in the economy of their day and time. What is not to like? Report this Post to the Staff

I have the 1987 edition. It's a fairly small book but it's got all sorts of information about how and where coinage was actually used in Roman times. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
