Silver Denarius (18mm 2.86g) Struck AD 74 Rome Obv: IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG Laureate head right Rev: PON MAX TR P COS V Vespasian seated right, holding branch and scepter RIC 77, RIC 2nd Edition 702 This coin is special to me, I found it in one of my first lots of uncleaned coins. It was totally encrusted, but after soaking scrubbing, zapping, and picking, this coin emerged!! I was pretty inexperienced at cleaning and was a little harsh, but still it is a nice find. The rest of the lot was junk. If not for this one coin, I might not have continued with the hobby! |
