    Super excited - I never thought I'd be able to afford one of these exceptionally rare FE denarii - 10 whole libras!!

    But after refinancing my house and tapping into my equity, it's finally mine!

    @Finn235 ....What a splendid example! Wonderful detail! I really like the dark patina and at that weight must feel really nice in hand?..Would love to see the reverse .

    I'd like a 10 As Aes Grave, currency bar or scale weight. The best I have is only 7.7 asses.

    Even rarer with the engraving error : should read TAS for ten asses instead of TSA. ;)

    Good find !
