Some claim you can watch Tiberius' age on his coinage. I have searched for years to prove this was true. Victor England offered me this piece and I knew immediately that I had to have it. This is undoubtedly the best surviving "aging" portrait of Tiberius I have ever seen. The coin is virtually mint state to boot. I have seen many very nice aurei of Tiberius but there hasn't been one that comes close to this magnificent piece in my mind. I wouldn't miss the chance to add this to a first rate collection. It is doubtful you will ever see a better one. MSG.
