<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 4598720, member: 74968&quot;]A clarification for those who may be interested. Yes Jay&#039;s coin is very rare. It may in fact be the eighth known. When David and I last discussed this type last year he said he knew of 7 examples. Jay&#039;s coin is RIC 853 and yes it is also rare for the reverse legend. However, the type I posted while having the more common VI instead of VII is actually a rarer coin than Jay&#039;s type. My type is RIC 773. I am aware of exactly 2 examples of this denarius type with the bare head left portrait and COS VI. I own one and the other is owned by David Atherton.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that I would love to find another example of Jay&#039;s coin. It is a very interesting type indeed. Mine also happens to be the RIC reference coin as when RIC (2007) was published my coin was the only known example.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jay, again you have my congratulations. Well spotted and well bought.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
