Trajan. ca. 99-102 AD AE Dupondius. 27.0mm, 12.4g Rome mint. RIC II Trajan 428 This is a big old hunk of a coin. Hefty, and feels chunky and solid when you hold it.

Ok sounds like a great plan. Thx for checking for coins minted starting in the decade of the 80s.

Well, I did an inventory check and sadly the next oldest coin I have is dated 35 BC-12 BC so not much help here from me, I'm afraid.
I have absolutely no Roman Republican coinage, nor anything from the Caesars, so unless I pick something up (and stuff from that era is VERY expensive) I'm not sure I can go further yet. I might see if I run across any Greek issues.

Ok thx for checking. I've got a few potential purchases that I'm pondering to fill out this area of time a bit, but nothing certain yet.

Great work you two! Tomorrow we drop back to the 60s and I'll be able to post a Vespasian of my own.
