One of us has a superb collection of Octavian/Augustus, but I can't recall who. Maybe Augustus1?

I took some new images of my Marcus Anthony Tet. I think these convey the quality of the coin much better.   |

I would have held the Agrippas for Caligula who issued them but you can see them as you see fit. The Augustus I'll offer is one that reminds us of a Republican lacking the portrait of this first Roman Emperor.  |

Sorry, Warren, I thought it might be you. Someone posted some beautiful Octavian/Augustus coins here a couple of months ago. I guess I'm getting old. They say memory is the second thing to go. I just can't remember what the first is.
