<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carausius, post: 2490150, member: 76440&quot;][USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER],</p><p>It looks like it might be an overstrike, which is pretty common among RR bronzes. Denomination mark seems to be obscured or off flan, though there may be signs of a pellet or two in the reverse exergue. This coin may have to be identified based on style and weight. I suspect it&#039;s a quadrans, as the obv is most likely Hercules with lionskin headdress, but I&#039;m not 100% sure.</p><p><br /></p><p>The places to look for any RR bronzes, based solely on style and weight would be:</p><p>1. Russo et al, The RBW Collection; and/or</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Berger, Roman Republican Coins in the Kestner Museum Hannover.</p><p><br /></p><p>Both books have huge numbers of photos of RR bronzes arranged in Crawford/date order. Styles are readily apparent, and it is possible to match a oddly struck coin to its series this way.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not home home now, but I&#039;ll try to look at your coin again with those resources at hand later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
