  1. As Phil Davis has already pointed out, it is almost impossible to find specimens of this coin with the legend entirely readable. This perhaps comes close to meeting the requirement: ROMA in the exergue, FOSTLUS in the left field and SEX . PO on the right are entirely readable and only the O of PO is half out of the field. The woodpecker on the 'ficus ruminalis' is also outlined very well.
  2. yes, but the artistic quality of the NAC specimen's portrait is incomparably superior
  3. Thank you for your response. In fact, it has happened to me, too, to notice similarities in patina and surfaces (sometimes even identical nummularii marks) between coins offered all together in the same auction or in chronologically close auctions and to think that they came not from the same collection, but from a single unknown find. I can think of several examples of this situation, but I had not noticed this hypothetical hoard dispersed by Gorny & Mosch.
  4. Wonderful surfaces. Which is the hoard you are referring to? (if it can be said)
