Picked up this group this fine (cloudy) morning for an extremely reasonable price.
There is only one I really want ......
Well I want them all but reality often makes choices necessary.

If you can guess which one ......
I will be your best friend !

I have always wanted one of these but the prices I would see always made me wince. This one looks rather nice too ! I like my imperial issues but this one is different !

You get credit for second place on the Postumus. Last year I bought a lot from France. I got one good Double Sestertius and 4 out of 6 had BD. Very disappointing.

I may have to sell off something else to justify this one buy. Hmmmmmm

Thanks 'Dutch' ! Wish I had been more aggressive on the other lot too. I could have parted with the silver coins it had more easily.

I had just sent a tip to my friend about a nice AE this morning when I spied 2 lots for sale. This is the one I really liked although the other was definitely worth more. A mix of 15 Greeks Roman Imperials and some Rome Republicans just for good measure. In hindsight it was a steal which I should have been more aggressive persuing ! They sold for around $21 for each ...... a no brainer really.

Now I am seeing the Brundisium with BRVN on the reverse. My wifes name is Brunilda (yes really).
I am doomed to a life of poverty I am afraid.

This Commodus reverse is driving me to drink .....

Looks like (G E) R A P I D (I)

The figure looks like Zeus with sceptre looking up with arm extended upward.

I can't find anything even close
