A recent purchase from Andy Singer at the Vienna, VA coin show which was surprisingly heavy with ancients dealers. Couldn’t resist picking up a unique Julius Caesar denarius. Julius Caesar RSC 13 denarius Julius Caesar Denarius. 46-45 BC, Spanish mint. Diademed head of Venus right, Cupid on her shoulder / CAESAR below Gallia & Gaulish captive seated beneath trophy of Gallic arms. Syd 1014, Crawford 468/1. Feel free to post anything related. Jim Trying to work out the kinks with a new photo hosting site so I don’t know if this will post the pictures or just have links. I’ll take advice on 3rd party hosting too. Thanks

@H8_modern - that is a great coin... love that "Caesar" was part of the double strike. I do not own any JC coins but I do think yours is one of the more interesting I have seen. Congrats!!
