Lot 138 Vespasian, Den, IVDAEA, Jewess std r, beside trophy; EF, well centered, lgnds nrly complete albeit partly crude; excellent portrait of unusually fine style for this; rev exceptionally well detailed; ltly toned. Possibly a hint of smoothing, mentioned only in an excess of conscientiousness. 
Lot 169 GERMANICUS, As, by Caligula, Bust l./SC in lgnd, Coh.1, Choice EF, perfectly centered with full strong lgnds, darkish greenish-brown patina, glossy surfaces, ltly smoothed; portrait quite sharply detailed. Slight surface disturbance at upper rev needn't be noted. 
PHILIP I, Sest, FIDES EXERCITVS, 4 standards, EF/VF, centered, lgnds complete tho somewhat crude mainly on rev; hilighted green patina; outstanding portrait with every hair sharp. 
VALERIAN II, Ant, PRINC IVVENTVTIS, Val crowning trophy; Choice EF, virtually as struck, centered on a large sl ragged flan, quite well struck with lgnds actually bold, sharp portrait detail. Lustery silver. It takes a lot of work for me to produce coins of this quality
