Augustus Maximus Pillar of the Community Italy 1790 Posts	Posted 03/07/2015 08:56 am Looks right to me. This is a nicely struck one too. This coin gives us a view of the young pup before he grew his fangs out . If you know what I mean. Edited by Augustus Maximus 03/07/2015 08:57 am Report this Post to the Staff

Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 03/07/2015 9:54 pm A WIN! A WIN! I don't own a Metal Detector, and anyway, the Romans didn't make it out this way (Australia) until the mid 50's, (A.D.1950's that is), so the only chance that I/we have of finding the odd 'treasure' is on the Internet, and that is about as likely as finding a lost contact lens on a football field, so whenever we have a win, no matter how small, we celebrate it! YIPPEE! Report this Post to the Staff
