<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carthago, post: 2297183, member: 76111&quot;]There&#039;s a pretty nice selection of Republicans in this electronic auction too.&nbsp; One coin in particular is quite scarce and of great historical significance.&nbsp; It was minted right at/after Caesars death approximately April/May 44 BC.&nbsp; The obverse of the issue was shortly replaced with a portrait of Antony, his first appearance on a coin, as he was jockeying for position as Caesar&#039;s heir.&nbsp; This coin never comes perfectly struck and this one is pretty darn good for the issue.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>The Caesarians. <i>Julius Caesar. </i></b>April-May 44 BC. AR Denarius (17mm, 3.85 g, 11h). Rome mint; P. Sepullius Macer, moneyer. Struck under Mark Antony. Tetrastyle temple with globe in pediment / <i>Desultor</i> (horseman who leaps from one horse to another), wearing conical cap and holding whip, right on horseback, second horse behind; palm frond and wreath to left. Crawford 480/21; Alföldi Type XXII, 41–5 (A1/R1); CRI 110; Sydenham 1076; RSC 44; RBW 1688. VF, toned, a couple bankers marks.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=303422" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=303422" rel="nofollow">http://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=303422</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]461266[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
