Gorgeous coins, gentlemen ... Quote:
Faustina Minor or Faustina the Younger was a daughter of Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius and Roman Empress Faustina the Elder. She was a Roman Empress and wife to her maternal cousin Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius. Though Roman sources give a generally negative view of her character, she was held in high esteem by soldiers and her own husband and was given divine honours after her death. Quote:
Faustina, named after her mother, was her parents' fourth and youngest child and their second daughter; she was also their only child to survive to adulthood. => man, it's always extremely cool to get the skinny-on-the-street surrounding the coin-person, eh!!?SIDE-NOTE => dougsmit => you've already given-up on your cool, new avatar?

Gil-galad nice Faustina! The obverse has great detail. I have no idea what these coins are worth but if your happy with the coin then it was worth what you paid for it. Someone told me that not too long ago on this forum.  Dougsmit ... I'm with Stevex .... what's up with ditching your avatar? I liked it a lot. Just my opinion.  |

Thanks guys. Those are some nice Faustina II coins as well.
Doug was about the closest to the price. Before the coin went on sale, it was $30. I got the coin for $22.50 plus $4 for shipping which makes the cost $26.50 total.
I am happy with the coin. Although, I particularly enjoy hunting for coins and finding decent coins at lower costs if possible. Especially since I have a low budget.

I like Faustian jr. Coins and you all have some nice coins posted. Ant. Pius and family are some of my all time favorite coins to collect.

I don't have many Faustina II denarii but this one is more unusual un that we don't see many left facing examples for her. I know it isn't in great shape but is only the second example for this particular Pudicitia type known with this bust.  Martin |
