<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1714166, member: 19463&quot;]I feel guilty (Forgive me Mrs. X6) mentioning it but the #1 cast bronze options are the Italian/Roman Aes Grave.&nbsp; If you are altogether more made of money than anything else, there are the large rectangular bricks with really neat designs (see the British Museum site).&nbsp; Dropping into the &#039;just a few thousands&#039; are the full pound liberal aes of Rome with Janus heads and a ship prow just like the little struck ones from the later Republic but huge.&nbsp; Next down are fractions including the prow series in smaller sizes.&nbsp; There are also fractions that have other designs.&nbsp; My only example is a puny 38g sextans (1/6 as) with a turtle from the mid 3rd century.&nbsp; It is one of the later cast Roman coins.&nbsp; At the last Baltimore show a dealer had a georgous full liberal as with great green patina and all the detail you could want for only $9k.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH]264118.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
