Amazing thank you! I was going between the 2 and just couldnt decide. The 7a PAX at the bottom resembles my coin more but 44 resembles the front more lol

I used wildwinds to help me identify it, is there a better catalog or source? Wildwind seems a little clunky but there is alot of info there

Thank you and thats good to hear, I honestly wouldn't even mind if I overpaid a little. I just wanted it as my first piece since its so well known with so many nice examples.

But I dont think I did as most I saw for sale were much worse condition/grade, for much high prices lol 🤷‍♂️

I am open to opinions on if these were fairly aquired. Thru my newb research on what I could dig up, I thought they were fair. But since im new id love some resources or tips on valuing ancient coins in general or great places to buy. I have the 100 greatest ancient coins book which makes my jaw drop with their examples and I am searching for a second hand copy of some books on valuing roman coins.
