[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 7790963, member: 80952"]I like it when I see a collector studying a coin and retrieving interesting information. Congratulations for the coin and for your passion. I am not sure about the second D but I would have probably overlooked the CONSAECRATIO legend. My best unassuming rarity is this Trajan quadrans [ATTACH=full]1337435[/ATTACH] IMP TRAIANO AVG GER DAC P M TR P COS VI P P, head of Trajan, laureate, right / S C, She-wolf walking right RIC II Trajan 693 It doesn't seem special but from the Trajan quadrantes with the she wolf this is the most interesting one. [USER=89514]@curtislclay[/USER] advised me that Woytek 601 reports just three specimens, all from the same pair of dies, in Glasgow, Paris, and CNG 38, 1996, lot 975. This being the 4th known specimen, from the same pair of dies. I had no idea, I was an almost absolute beginner and I just said hey, look, a Trajan with a nice portrait, I want it. As for Consecration coins, I spend the last 2 days centralizing my collection in an Excel file (oh boy, seems easier said than done) and I realized I almost forgot about this coin, for some reason.
