[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 1804844, member: 31620"]Doug, I would like to break your guidance about the coins that you would like to see in this thread and add a Republican coin of my own that has also seen very little or no wear since it left the mint but was left a little below perfection by the manufacture process. L Papius Denarius Serratus Obv:– Head of Juno Sospita right, wearing goat skin tied under chin. Behind head, Compass Rev:– Gryphon running right; in ex., L. PAPI.; in field, Drill Minted in Rome from . B.C. 79. Reference(s) – RSC Papia 1. RRC 384/1. RCTV 311. Symbol variety – RRC 204. Babelon -. BMCRR - 3.85g. 20.41 mm. 180 degrees It doesn't have those fascinating adjustment gouges but does have a severely off-centre and uneven strike.
