<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1895649, member: 19463&quot;]Concluding the reports of my Baltimore show finds are two Republicans I did not have before. From 102 BC is a denarius of C.Fabius showing Cybele on the obverse and a rather ordinary Victory in biga reverse.&nbsp; What makes it special is the flamingo in front of the biga (for you animal types).&nbsp;&nbsp; The coin has several scratches and faults but I wanted the bird.</p><p>Fabia 15 Crawford 322/1a</p><p>[ATTACH=full]323428[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Last is a 63 BC denarius of L. Furius Brocchus with Ceres between wheat and barleycorn and a curile chair between fasces (not with full bands so of no interest to US dime collectors).&nbsp; I have trouble turning down Republicans with types not involving a chariot or Roma.&nbsp;&nbsp; It is slightly unusual in that it bears the title IIIVIR.&nbsp; This was the most expensive coin I got at the show so it gets the final spot on this report.&nbsp; While worn to Fine, it has attractive tone and is not a type I see regularly. </p><p>Furia 23a&nbsp; Crawford 414</p><p>[ATTACH=full]323427[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>My next coin show is in May.&nbsp; I need to take some time off and read the books I bought recently.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
