Picked up 2 new denarii from the bay and for some reason they went CHEAP:hail::hail: so I was very happy. mb:.
As usual the coins look better in hand, especially the faustina. What looks like a hole next to left column is just part of the column decoration itself, weird but the loupe didnt lie. So im glad to finally get a faustina I off my want list and a scarcer reverse/cheap at that.:cool:
