<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2500657, member: 74282&quot;]Nice coin! This is a very interesting series that I&#039;d like to collect more coins from, but I must make a correction - this uncia is not cast, it is struck. The Crawford 38 series includes both cast and struck bronzes, with the larger denominations(i.e. as, semis, etc.) being cast and the smaller denominations(i.e. the uncia, semuncia, etc.) struck. You can see some examples of the other cast and struck denominations of this series on Andrew McCabe&#039;s page <a href="http://andrewmccabe.ancients.info/RRC028.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://andrewmccabe.ancients.info/RRC028.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. There are earlier cast unciae, but this one was struck during the period that Rome was transitioning from struck to cast bronze. The semuncia below is struck and part of the same series:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]530422[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
