Title: Denarius from Cardiff rally Post by: The Doc on July 17, 2011, 10:42:30 PM Had a good time at the Cardiff Scan Club today. This was my best find. Need to clean it a bit more but can see enough for an ID.
It's Antoninus Pius, with the bare head of the young Marcus Aurelius on the reverse. Spink 497, RIC 417a. Title: Re: Denarius from Cardiff rally Post by: Jassy on July 17, 2011, 10:46:43 PM nice one Peter!! you are good at finding those arent you!!!!

Are you gonna clean it up any more or leave it as it is? It looks pretty good as it is but depends how shiney you like your silver I suppose.
