<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tartanhill, post: 4036399, member: 93472&quot;]This coin sold today at CNG for $2500 with an estimated value of $500.&nbsp; Does anyone know what the XVI in the left field on the reverse represents or if that makes this coin more valuable?&nbsp; I know that the XVI on RR coins circa 140 BC give the denarius a value of 16 asses.&nbsp; By 72 BC when this coin was issued, the as value of a denarius was no longer stated on the coin.&nbsp; Just curious.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b> <img src="https://www.numisbids.com/sales/hosted/cng/e/460/image00459.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></b></p><p><b><b>L.
