Hello all, After an absence of some weeks I'm back again on this forum due some busy weeks at work. I bought a new coin again as well after selling several coins which were laying in a drawer. After some advice I decided to buy it, and it turned out to be a very nice early as of Tiberius, for a good price! The coin has dark green patina with a small damaged part but luckily its no BD, just a damage which doesn't bother me. Issuer : Tiberius Date Ruled : AD 14-37 Metal : Bronze Denomination : Ask Date Struck : AD 15-16 Weight : 10.58 g, 27mm Obverse Legend : TI CAESAR DIVI AVG F AVGVST IMP VII Obverse Description : Bare head left Reverse Legend : PONTIF MAXIM TRIBVN POTEST XVII / S C Reverse Description : Draped female seated right, holding patera and scepter Mint : Rome Primary Reference : RIC 034 Notes : Scarce coin   Edited by Dutchgulden

 I always loved the style of the Julio-Claudian coinage , so elegant and yet bold. |

Nice catch for a nice price.
A 'dealer' would ask around $200 !
You won't regret this addition. Every bronze collection needs a Tiberius .......
The old grouch !
