From the Andrew McCabe collection!

Great coin in hand and it comes from just down the road from my town in Italy.

Beautiful coin.

Hadrian looks quite different. I enjoy seeing the variations in his portraits on coins you share with us.

Well, this is my first post on Forvm. My name is Gary and I have been collecting ancients since about 1982. I started with Tom Cederlind and went from there. I've sold my collections two times and told myself I was done but when ancient coins get into your blood......so I started again just last July. I try to specialize in Julio-Claudian and Caligula. Yeah, the more expensive coinage. So with that being said, Here's the first coin I have bought from Joe since I came back:

This is my fourth Three Sisters I've had and is the best. I feel very blessed and proud to have it. It completes my Caligula sestertius series by type.

Hi Gary

Welcome to the discussion board!

Great coin!

Sounds like you have an amazing collection. It would be great if you set up a FORVM gallery for your collection so the rest of us could see...

From FORVM auctions, coin in hand presents a really nice reverse, somewhere else this coin will close at 3 times worth at least, what it closed on here .
FORVM ‘s photos, are taken to show the shame if any, before the beauty in the coin.
Every coin, I saw in FORVM Auctions photos, turned out to be , really nice in hand.
Dear members ( specially new to the hobby members ), check regularly FORVM Auctions, every coin there is a good deal , yet a valuable perfect gift for any
occasion.
Nice , Authentic , and very easy on your wallet.

What a one sided necklace gift this would make.

peterpil19 · « **Reply #721 on:** December 30, 2017, 12:39:20 am »

That is a great coin. One of my favourite types.

Thanks for pointing out the coins. I do forget to check the FORVM auctions. I have just bid.

I note that one of the Vespasians has the 'Pon Max' in the legend which was the subject of general discussion a few weeks ago and might be of interest to other FORVM members.
