Indeed, a fine upgrade. It's interesting to compare the differences in the bust between the two officinae, despite both being Siscia coins. The Alpha officina head looks "fatter" and also older; the Beta officina looks younger, and has a more clearly defined chin line and much more detail on the clasp.

I've got two of my own LRB upgrades to post later tonight.
