A 'Common' Rarity OTD
« on: February 21, 2017, 09:05:18 pm »
I was very excited to recently receive this rare Vespasian denarius. https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-135171

Although it may not look like much and it's extremely worn, IMHO, it is worthy of COTD status. It took me ages to find one!

Finding a coin which fills a coin in one's collection is always worthy of COTD ;)

The new purchase is a worthy upgrade! 

I got mine back in 2015 but only now added it to my gallery.  I love the big recut I. Your write-ups add so much to these rarities!
