This came as a nice surprise in the Goldberg lot, which was billed as 'mostly bronze Greek and Roman'. Very artistic rendering of Jupiter. Not sure I have the attribution right. Bing can correct me if needed Roman Republic, anonymous. 211-208 BC AR victoriatus Sicily mint? 15 mm, 3.2 gm Obv: laureate head of Jupiter right Rev: Victory standing right, erecting (crowning?) trophy. ROMA in exergue Ref: Crawford 67/1, BMC 137?
Thanks! There are a few dogs in the lot but overall, a nice 'insta-collection'. I'll sell or trade some of them, probably all of the later Romans. Here's the whole lot (33 coins-- billed as 34. Not sure if I lost one or if it was short). Definitely worth at least double what I paid, conservatively. Of course, that's not a particularly meaningful statement since I don't want some of them and it takes time to sell them, fees, etc. Entertainment value of examining, researching, and attributing them is worth a lot though!
that's a nice one TIF, i was jus thinking this lot must be pretty darn sweet...and there it is ...and there it is....it is pretty darn sweet...GREAT pick up there.
