MARCUS AURELIUS AE sestertius. Rome mint, 173 AD. M ANTONINVS AVG TR P XXVII, laureate bust right. Reverse - GERMANICO AVG IMP VI COS III, Trophy with shields at base, Germania, as mourning female captive, seated left; Captive german male stands, bound, to right, SC in exergue. RCV 4974, RIC 1058. Very scarce According to Sear, this coin type is a revival of a type issued by Domitian over 9 decades before. I really love the issues from the marcomannic wars and it's a cool nod to the gladiator movie. 😄

Bought 2 coins from a local seller who's distributing a hoard. I quite the untouched as found condition of the coins. Might clean them sometime in the future but I don't mind it too much. Antoninianus of Probus and Diocletian.

Finally managed to get this Aurelius reverse type! 😄

Postumus (260-269)Æ double sester, 13.99 g, 30 mmMint: TrierObv: radiant bust r.Rev: Mars stands r. with spear and shield, between SC. Been wanting one of these for a while. Wanted a not so porous flan and I find it attractively worn.

Picked up this ae as (7.66 g) of Pertinax which seems after some googling an extremely rare denomination for him. It's not a beauty but still recognizable and that will do 😄. Obverse: IMP. CAES. P. HELV. PERTIN. AVG. Head of Pertinax, laureate, to the right. Reverse: AEQVIT. AVG. TR. P. COS. II S. C.

Crowned and draped facing busts of Constans, wearing long beard, and Constantine; cross between / Cross potent set on three steps; I//CONOB. DOC (25j); MIB 26; SB 959.

Finally was able to land a *partial* Claudius denarius. The coin has a clear issue but other then that is of a great style. I paid about 250 for it which I don't believe is that bad considering worse style and quite worn ones can go for 700+ .

Been a while since I did a v-coins purchase. I'm always quite fond of Trajan and found it to have a lovely bust. Trajan. AD 98-117. AR Denarius (18.5mm, 3.3g,). Rome mint. Struck circa AD 110. Laureate bust right, slight drapery / Roma standing left, holding Victory and spear.

Managed to pick up this budget example that will go well with the female version I have.

Saw this come by on eBay and decided to bid, won it quite cheap at 83 euro. It was a type i've been wanting for a long time and the condition could be better but still somewhat presentable 😛 Trajan. AD 98-117. Æ Sestertius. Rome mint. Struck circa AD 104-107. Laureate bust right, slight drapery / Arched, single-span bridge with seven posts across Danube River; single-bay arches at either end, surmounted by statues; boat sailing left in river below.

Link: Trophy A Trajan denarius that I got from a 1900’s hoard.

Picked up these Ambiani gallic wars staters. Love the history behind these even though they are very plain 😃. The difference between the two in gold content is quite easy to tell.

Lovely worn Vitellius denarius I picked up earlier this year with victory on the reverse. Next: Coin of gallic empire emperor Marius 😀
