A very nice and somewhat unusual Plautilla denarius:
https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=1694&pid=183130

This is the holy grail coin I mentioned. The reason being it features the common CONCORDIA AVGG reverse type with the early bust type and PLAUTILLAE AVGVSTAE legend. I've only seen this struck with three of the five portraits employed on Plautillas denarii and I now have an example of each in my gallery. In my experience this is the hardest variant to find hence it being a holy grail of mine. I'm now one Plautilla denarius (DIANA LVCIFERA) away from a complete (excluding hybrids) collection of her denarii which has been a collecting goal of mine since 2002 or so.

Sold my last Sept. Severus to upgrade to a higher grade coin. That was in 2007.

Added a nice Crispina denarius to my gallery:

The last time I bought a Crispina denarius was in 2003 and it went missing in the post, still a bit upset about that

*triumphant fanfare* Just added my number one holy grail coin to my gallery, a DIANA LVCIFERA reverse denarius of Plautilla. This has been at the top of my want list for over twenty years and it means I now have every reverse type struck for Plautilla by the Rome mint.
