We have some of the Pozzi casts at HJB.
A panther struck by C. Vibius Varus in 42 BC, Crawford 494/36; ex Leu 17: [ATTACH]
Heh. This coin was pointed out to me when it was first offered. I noted that since Crawford considered the type post-Actium and didn't include it...
Warren describes the reverse fully at his link.
If the seller is on the level and this was an honest mistake, he'll promptly ship the correct coin and tell you to keep the nearly-worthless slug...
and a pair of axes struck by L. Valerius Acisculus in 45 BC: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] It's a punning type; the moneyer's name Acisculus is the Latin...
Quite a rare quinarius with an ax: [ATTACH]

Old enough to know better, lol.
Petillius Capitolinus, Crawford 487/2a, 43 BC; ex Niggler: [ATTACH]
Just for ducks, here's the only once-slabbed coin I ever bought. As I said somewhere way upthread, it was freed within an hour, even though I was...
That's precisely why I've never been terribly active on Forum, despite being asked by Alex to post there when the site was first established. I...
Great post Doug. I especially like this distinction: "I called things that happened to the coin at the mint 'Conditions of Manufacture' and things...
