Sallent New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 04/14/2017 12:50 am Here is one of 7 coins I got in the mail yesterday,and my favorite of the lot. I know this emperor's coins are a dime a dozen, but I think the particular style of this one is superb. The bust has a fair bit of relief to it, and looks really nice. The reverse Annona is as fine as I've seen. Antoninus Pius, AD 138-161. AR Denarius, 18mm, 3.3g, 6h; Rome mint, AD 156-157. Obv: ANTONINVS AVG PIVS P P IMP II; Laureate head right. Rev: TR POT XX COS IIII; Annona seated right, holding cornucopia; modius in front. RIC III 262, p. 57 Report this Post to the Staff

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 04/14/2017 6:50 pm I concur with your assessment with regard to that Annona reverse, and the obverse is also outstanding. That classic "long neck" style portrait is reminiscent of much earlier issues. This particular specimen is far from the "dime a dozen" category. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff
