<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2616834, member: 76194&quot;]I don&#039;t really do Roman Republic denarii, as I only have 9 (10 with this coin). However, I had the opportunity to acquire one for just over $100 with shipping and fees. At that price I don&#039;t know if I&#039;m overpaying or not, but it is the cheapest RR denarius I have by at least $20 USD.</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, this is my 8th coin of the year (for those of you keeping track):</p><p><br /></p><p><b>The good:</b> It was cheap (I think). At least after spending on 7 other coins I was looking for a budget coin to wrap up January, and this fit the bill. Now watch me buy another coin before the month is over. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>The bad: </b>At a budget price, it is not exactly a pretty coin by most of this forum&#039;s standards. So it may not be everyone&#039;s cup of tea, but I think it&#039;s decent considering the price...and I could probably use a few more worn and beat up coins in my collection (to add character to it)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]573505[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="4"><b>ROMAN REPUBLIC.

She may not be a beauty queen, but she is my coin! And most importantly, she is my 5th Roman coin with Minerva, which makes Minerva the Roman deity with more coins than any other in my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>Post any RR or Minerva coins you want to share:<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie95" alt=":vamp:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
