Although I've posted on the US Coin forum and occassionally on the Autograph and Stamp forums, I haven't posted here, so I thought I'd share a couple pickups from the recent Stacks / Coin Galleries auction.

It's approx, 71 BC. The obverse is the helmeted bust of Virtus and the reverse is the consul Aquillius holding a shield and raising Sicilia.
