<p>[QUOTE="rg3, post: 4352479, member: 79213"]Congrats [USER=83956]@Gavin Richardson[/USER], sounds like this auction was fruitful across the board. Concerning the N - "banker's mark" (?), [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER], I really have no idea. This was a CNG purchase where they gave no extra info in the lot description. I searched for a few hours online for other marks that match and could not find any. Of course, I would like to think it has something to do with Nero's monetary reforms (maybe the N for Nero), but this is probably a stretch given the reform's widespread nature (and lack of any/many other examples). Maybe a mark to be melt (given its supposed greater than desired purity), and this one escaped the furnace? Just thoughts, neat to imagine.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, awesome displays (and sets) [USER=79017]@Andres2[/USER] and [USER=44132]@Bing[/USER]. No plans to display (or remove from secure storage) yet. My father did make a beautiful coin storage box, so maybe one day I will rest the 12 here: [ATTACH=full]1101413[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
