This makes 8/12. The other 4 are below VF but are still very nice IMHO. Until recently I only had a quinarius for Augustus. Well I have just added a nice denarius to the set. I have been wanting one of these for about a year but did not find the 'right' one until now. The flan is a little odd but the Capricorn is nice. I also really like the denarii of Augustus with the anepigraphic obverses very much so this one filled that need as well. Report this Post to the Staff
