Seller's Note/ Such restitution issues struck by Titus are rather scarce and highly desired by collectors. Shout Out to Saul RolI for his comment - "In this case, it is replicating an As of Augustus in theory, but actually closer to Nero's flying Victory As" 

This coin has NOT been waxed but a wax and buff will highly improve its appearance! Upon purchase, let us know if you would like us to wax it for you, okay?
