<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fugio1, post: 3329235, member: 89970&quot;]My 3 winnings from the Nov. 7 Aureo &amp; Calico sale of Roman Republican denarii have arrived, and I must say it was worth the wait.&nbsp; I’ve posted images of these coins before but now I can post my own images which I believe are more representative of the coins in hand.&nbsp; To keep this concise, I’ll cover only one coin per post.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]882027[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>First is the Caduceus issue, RRC 60/1a which is among the most crude, but also the most recognizable style of the early denarii.&nbsp; The issue is also found without the Caduceus symbol but with this identical style, RRC 60/1b.&nbsp; The anonymous coins are very rare.&nbsp; A small subset of the Apex and Hammer series is also found with this style, RRC 59/1b, suggesting these issues came from the same mint assigned by Crawford to an unknown mint in central Italy.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is a scarce issue generally found in terrible condition.&nbsp; This coin is from the Goodman collection sold in the late 90’s by CNG across 5 auctions including Triton I where this coin was sold as part of that collection.&nbsp; It has fresh, lightly toned surfaces and is complete but for about half of the obverse border.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
