<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2289258, member: 74282&quot;]There&#039;s more interesting to this coin than I think you realize. First, its on a nice broad flan which gives almost the entire border, not common with RR bronzes af all. Second, its from the Crawford 41 anonymous postsemilibral series, which is a strange series that involves both struck and cast types at differing weight standards, indicating that it is actually likely multiple issues but Crawford didn&#039;t study it enough to describe them. I believe that Roberto Russo did put quite a bit of time into studying this series in his paper on anonymous bronzes in Essays Hersh, however, but unfortunately I haven&#039;t yet bought a copy(hoping to buy one in January) so I can&#039;t tell you what sort of conclusions he came to, except that the diameter of the dotted border was important for fully identifying the semis denomination so it might be able to give you more info on your uncia as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like I said, I plan to pick up a copy in January if possible so if I am able to find any more info about this particular coin, I&#039;ll come back and update this thread. Suffice to say, even with the ruined reverse, I think you&#039;ve got a really nice uncia there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
