<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikey Zee, post: 2229627, member: 72818&quot;]Several days ago I noticed several interesting coins on Agora that I put on my &#039;watch-list&#039; and almost forgot about since I just finished purchasing six other coins. Yesterday I noticed all but one had significant bids on them, but &#039;this&#039; sole denarius, estimated to be worth $75.00, did not even generate the first required bid of $45.00 which I decided to go for or lose if another bidder entered the fray-----Instinct, experience and due diligence leads me to believe that it was worth about $75.00 retail and a great buy at the minimum required bid. It is graded VF overall; with the obverse a strong VF and the reverse a bit weakly struck, although interesting and appealing.</p><p><br /></p><p>How do the rest of you feel about it?</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I&#039;m very happy with it since it nicely complements my youthful Caracalla denarius with the expected scowling portrait usually associated with this Emperor.</p><p><br /></p><p>AR Denarius Caracalla 198-217 AD; struck 212-213 AD, Rome</p><p>ANTONINVS PIVS AVG BRIT; laureated head right</p><p>MARTI PROPUGNATORI; Mars advancing left, carrying a spear and trophy</p><p>RIC 223, BIMCRE 87: RSC 150</p><p>18.5 mm; 3.11 grams</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]438106[/ATTACH]</p><p>Please feel free to post any others you may have especially those that sold for less than expected.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
