<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fugio1, post: 4207667, member: 89970&quot;]I&#039;m piggy backing on this old [USER=74282]@red_spork[/USER] thread introducing this variety (before my time on this forum) to share my recent acquisition of an example of the MP victoriatus, RRC 93/1a.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1078640[/ATTACH]&nbsp; </p><p>It is perhaps in a lower grade than I normally prefer, but in all of the most important criteria, it meets my thresholds - Well centered, Style is prototypical of this variation,&nbsp; It is struck from apparently unworn dies, and most major elements of the design are discernible.&nbsp; </p><p>There are some minor laminations and flan issues on both sides, but these are not distracting to me at all.&nbsp; It has some wear, but wear in itself is low on my list of criteria as long as it doesn’t obliterate major details of the design.&nbsp; Overall, it is a good representation of this interesting variety.</p><p><br /></p><p>To add a dimension to this thread, there are actually two variations of RRC 93 victoriati, and stylistically they could not be more different.&nbsp; RRC 93/1b for comparison has a much more rounded head of Jupiter with wavy locks on the back of the neck.&nbsp; The reverse shows Victory as a rather squat figure.&nbsp; RRC 93/1c is of the same style as RRC 93/1b, but is fully anonymous without the MP ligate.&nbsp;&nbsp; It is somewhat more scarce than RRC 93/1a.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is RRC 93/1b (not mine) from Bertalomi EAuction 5.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1078657[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
