Nice coins!

Excellent additions Jay!

It looks like your T112 and my T115  http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-7823 had the same die engraver. Also, notice both have a dot at the end of the obverse legend.

Thanks guys.

The "interesting" Vespasian denarius arrived today.  No sign of plating, but the flan is uneven.  Low weight and slightly "off" portrait hint at an ancient counterfeit.

Although the style , IMHO, is slightly "off" for an official mint product, it is too good to be a barbaric imitative type. I thought surely upon close inspection you would find traces of plating. Very puzzling indeed.

Interesting addition either way.

It's definitely solid.  But the coin is thin on one side which explains the low weight. I'll try to get a picture of it tomorrow.

Great new additions.  That Philip I pic is outstanding.  Bronze is so hard to photograph well imo.
