Hi,
I checked out that site and it's really interesting. I was wondering whether it's possible to hint what era one's most interested in when purchasing one of the denarius?

Nice looking coin, echizento ... Ummm, as I'm sure that you know => good ol' Rasiel Suarez is the dude that made "my list"  of rarity from the ERIC II book ... => very nice coin and nice extra thrown-in with the authenticity!! ... |

His books are excellent, I have them all and have done business with him many times. I sure if you are interested in a certain coin he would try and find it for you, just shoot him an email.

Very nice coin! But I have to say something about the COA. I hate pointing things out like this, especially something Rasiel put together (he's a great guy and I have the highest respect for him). I think the reverse legend on the certificate does not match what is on your coin. The description of the reverse is fine, however. The COA states that the legend on the reverse reads PM TR COS IIII PP, but the legend seems to read COS V PP S P Q R OPTIMO PRINC.

Well I guess even the experts make mistakes sometime. Looking at the coin more closer it has been misattibuted. The legends are:
IMP NERVA TRAIANVS AVG GER DACICVS
COS V PP SPQR OPTIMO PRINC
RIC II, 107

Good eye ACG  . I wonder if you might ask the seller for a new certificate? I think I would. |
