A while back I had added a rare example of RIC IVa 299 in fairly marginal condition.  It was a FORVM coin, and I was glad to have it.  Examples of this type rarely come up for sale from what I have seen. 

That said, I just managed to snag a really top example of the type at auction.  MASSIVE upgrade to this rare issue.

See the older (poorer) FORVM coin here:

And the new, upgraded example of the type here:

Anyone else got an example of this type to show?  These two examples are NOT die matches, so it's not so uncommon a coin that there would not be some variety out there, despite the relative rarity.

Yes, huge upgrade! Congratulations!

Here is my denarius for this type. I have it also for his son.
