Thanks! Yours is one of the best Valerian portraits I’ve seen, great coin. I got lucky on mine…I got it on the last day of one of those 4-day marathon Leu auctions for very cheap (I think most bidders had lost interest by the time it got to Valerian 😁)
-
Great list…I LOVE that Nero denarius, amazing portrait and great surfaces. The Vetranio is excellent too.
-
Fantastic list! The Nero, Augustus and Vespasian are all beautiful, and that Gordian I(!) is amazing. I think my favorite is actually the Aemilian…I don’t think I’ve ever seen one in that condition with a great portrait AND a full legend, great find!

Great group! The Titus aureus and the Syracuse octopus litra are my favorites, but they’re all great.
-
Thanks Donna, hope to be around the site more this year. I really like the earlier portrait style of Nero as well…the other Nero tet was a bit more expensive, but I think I may actually like the earlier style better. Very happy to have both! 😁
-
Wow! You never disappoint, @Octavius! The Nero aureus is my favorite, what a portrait…the Caligula/Germanicus is fantastic too. Thanks for sharing!
-
Wow, that is quite a group! The Caligula and the Caesar portrait denarius are my favorites, but all of these are special. Congrats on a great year!
