JeandAcre Posted April 21 · Member Share Posted April 21 A-Mazing. I have to love how the obverse has the iconically Flavian retrograde legend. That's just icing on an incredible, three-tiered wedding cake. ...The portrait is all you could want for a late issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panzerman Posted April 22 · Member Author Share Posted April 22 Thanks so much/ gals/ guys🥰 Sorry for late response just got home from work! That coin was bugging me for past two months. I went to bed/ could not get it off my mind/ so I got up went down to my basement/ turned on the computer and hit the buy button! Then I went back to bed/ sleep like a baby. Best thing I do not have to pay a cent for it. A nice collector from Spain has decided to purchase my entire butterfly collection (what is still in basement) over ten year plan/ buying 3K euros worth each month. That way I can get some better coins. According too Calicó the Vespasian aureus is C ="common". 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
