I think it certainly qualifies as "nice for the grade" if nothing else and I'd welcome a similar example in my own collection. This is the only of the 3 moneyers of 90 B.C. I lack. All 3 had relatively large issues in both silver and bronze to keep up with the demands of the great Social War. that was going on at the time. Here are mine:[ATTACH=full]536920[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]536921[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]536922[/ATTACH] By the way, for a great book on the Social War, I highly recommend <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Cataclysm-90-BC-forgotten-destroyed/dp/1848847890" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.amazon.com/Cataclysm-90-BC-forgotten-destroyed/dp/1848847890" rel="nofollow">"Cataclysm: 90 BC" by Philip Matyszak</a>. The Social War is such a fascinating war with massive consequences for all involved and is so often just told as one small part of the story of the end of the Roman Republic but rarely gets the treatment it deserves. Given, there are some "difficulties" with the sources of this period, but it's still something that in my opinion deserves further study than it is usually given.[/QUOTE]
