Sweet coins, fellas ... sadly, I don't have any/many Augustus winners to post

=> *sigh* ... man, I need more coins!!

All I have to add are these two scruffy Augustus coins:

Augustus AE-Dupondius, Nemausus
27 BC - 14 AD
circa 10 AD
Weight: 12.8 grams
Diameter: 27 mm (my estimate => I’ll need to verify this)
Obverse: Laureate Augustus and Agrippa heads back to back, IMP DIVI FPP (Heads of Agrippa (left) and Augustus (right) back to back)
Reverse: Crocodile chained to palm tree COL NEM
Reference: S-1731





Augustus Æ quadrans
Moneeyers Lamia, Silia and Annius
Date: 9 B.C.
Diameter: 17 mm
Weight: 2.79 grams
Reverse: IIIVIR AAAFF around S.C.
Obverse: LAMIA SILIVS ANNIVS around Simpulum and lituus
Reference: RIC 74, 421. Cohen 339. BN I, 117, 580
General Comments: Quite Scarce, Nice tone, Better in hand!!

 

Is that second coin over sruck?

 

I don't think so. Just off center.

 

Bing, the patina on that Colonia Patricia is gorgeous!

Steve, I hope to someday have a COL NEM as nice as yours.

 

It is nice except the shovel/rock mark on the side of the portrait. But thanks. I think it's a nice coin. If you haven't been, you should go to Cordoba sometime. I was there a couple of years ago during the patio fest. Wow. What a great trip.

 

Jeeze, ya'll guys are killing me with these phat Augustus coins. Who saw Cucumber's coins? Holy cow. Bing, must have them coming out of his ears, and yes steve, everyone wants that COL NEM, I am waiting for someone to upgrade one and then....then...the bottom feeder will strike.

 

Three more. One for Octavian that has had better days, but what the heck, it's not the kind of stuff one sees every day ! :

A crocodile, as some fellows here seem to fancy them :

COL NEM, Crocodile chained to palm tree
